The boss of Australia’s Counter Intelligence agency (ASIO), Mike Burgess has warned that the country will likely see another terror attack within the next 12 months.

During an inquiry into extremist movements and radicalism in Australia, Burgess stated that religious extremists are the biggest threat.

However, the intelligence chief also says “given the growth in nationalist and racist violent extremism it could come from either ideology”.

A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
