Thousands of Australians took to the streets today, advocating for crucial reforms in Indigenous rights.

The rallying cry resonated from Sydney to Perth as citizens voiced their collective demand for a referendum to address the long-standing issues facing the Indigenous communities.

The passionate crowd, adorned with symbolic indigenous art and colours, marched peacefully, emphasising the need for constitutional recognition and empowerment of Indigenous Australians. Chants of “Justice now!” and “Change the Constitution!” reverberated through the city streets as they called on the government to take meaningful action.

The referendum, if passed, would mark a historic milestone in Australian history. Advocates argue that it would provide Indigenous Australians with a much-needed voice in policymaking and address the glaring disparities in health, education, and economic opportunities that have persisted for generations.

Indigenous leaders and prominent activists addressed the crowd, sharing their personal stories of resilience and calling for a united front in the fight for justice and equality. The government has been under increasing pressure to take decisive action and fulfil its commitments to Indigenous communities.

This massive display of solidarity comes at a time when the nation grapples with its colonial past and seeks to forge a more inclusive future. The referendum is seen as a crucial step towards reconciliation and a chance to right historical wrongs.

As the rallying cry for Indigenous rights echoes across the country, the question remains: Will the Australian government heed the call for a referendum and take meaningful steps towards addressing the deep-rooted issues faced by Indigenous communities?

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.
