Simone Biles among women to sue FBI for $1 billion

Four time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles is one of over 90 women suing the FBI for more than $US1 billion

Lawyers for the group, which also includes gold medalists Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, say the FBI failed to address allegations of sexual assault towards former U.S national team doctor Larry Nassar.

The FBI was aware of allegations against Nassar as far back as 2015 but failed to address them, leaving the doctor free to target victims for over a year.

The doctor is now serving life in prison without parole after pleading guilty to multiple charges of criminal sexual misconduct.

In May the U.S justice department said it would not pursue charges against the agents who failed to investigate Nassar.

Former national champion gymnast Maggie Nichols says “it is time for the FBI to be held accountable”.

The agency has declined to comment, and has six months to respond to the claims filed on Wednesday.

But FBI director Christopher Ray has previously labelled the agency’s mistakes as “inexcusable”.

“If the FBI had simply done its job, Nassar would have been stopped before he ever had the chance to abuse hundreds of girls, including me”.

Thirteen Nassar victims filed similar claims against the FBI earlier in the year.

In 2018 Michigan state university agreed to pay $US500 million to over 300 victims for failing to stop the predator.

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.
