As world leaders gather to commemorate the queen, many Commonwealth countries are debating the future of the monarchy

He met with King Charles the Third at Buckingham Palace.

It’s been 23 years since a referendum was held in Australia to decide whether the country should become a republic.

Walking through Westminster Hall for the Lying in state was an incredibly moving experience. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II meant so much to so many. The raw emotion of those attending to pay their respects made this moment one I will never forget. pic.twitter.com/CRJ7FsTpfe

But now in a first for Australia, an assistant minister for the republic has been sworn into cabinet.

The news of Sydney MP Matt Thistlethwaite’s appointment in the role made headlines around the world.

However, Australia is one of a number of commonwealth nations now considering its ties to the British monarchy.

For now, Albanese has reiterated that now is a time for mourning and paying respect to the Queen. Discussion on becoming a republic are for a later time.

The PM says the Queen recognised that Britain’s relationship with the Maoris hasn’t always been respectful.

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.
