The Australian Defence Force is set to deploy troops to the United Kingdom in an effort to train Ukrainian soldiers

The Australian Defence Force is set to deploy troops to the United Kingdom in an effort to train Ukrainian soldiers and help them defend their nation against Putin’s invasion.

Dubbed Operation ‘Inteflex’, the 70 personnel will not enter Ukraine but will join the British-led training effort just after Christmas.

The deployment is part of a whole-of-government effort to support Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian aggression.

“Australia has been unequivocal in its bipartisan support for Ukraine and its condemnation of President Putin.
We will continue to stand up for freedom and democracy.
This is a not just about Ukraine’s sovereignty; the brave people of Ukraine are defending international law, rules and norms.”
Anthony Albanese, Australian Prime Minister

Australia has condemned Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea, with this latest commitment building on the country’s existing support for Ukraine.

Additionally, the government will send a further 30 Bushmaster vehicles to Ukraine later this year.

Australia’s federal budget set aside more than $200 million in aid for the war-torn nation.

The nation’s total financial support for Ukraine now tops $655 million.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

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

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
