There are now calls for better safety and government supervision of the industry.

A Chinese acrobat has died after falling to her death during a performance in China.

Local authorities in China will now conduct an in-depth investigation.

The incident has stirred broad public concern over the safety of acrobats.

There are now calls for better safety and government supervision of the industry.

A manager from the performance company says the couple had a fight on the night of the accident and the performer did not buckle her safety belt.

But this claim is being refuted by her husband, who says they were not in a dispute before the accident and they had a good relationship.

Industry experts have since pointed out that a safety net should have been set up.

An eyewitness told media that there was no safety cushion on the stage and it was difficult for the ambulance to arrive at the venue due to narrow roadways.

All crew and company plus the partners involved in the incident will be investigated.

If the accident was caused by the acrobat’s failure to take protective measures, the acrobat will cop the main responsibility.

This means the performance company will bear secondary responsibility.

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.
