US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has confirmed he and his fellow Democrat lawmakers will attempt to codify abortion rights into law on Wednesday local time

The vote follows a leaked Supreme Court draft ruling indicating the nation’s highest legal body will move to overturn the historic Roe and Wade ruling, which currently defines abortion as a Constitutional right.

While the vote is almost certainly set to fail given the slim majority the Democrats hold in the Senate, Bruce Wolpe from the US Studies Centre says it will give all of America the chance to see where their leaders fall on this controversial issue.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer believes “every American will see how every senator stands”, adding Republicans “can’t duck it anymore”.

He has labelled the Supreme Court’s draft decision as an “abomination” and says the majority of Americans actually want to preserve the right to have an abortion.

The doomed vote has also reignited calls for an end to the Senate’s filibuster rule, which is preventing the Democrats from passing this legalisation in their own right.

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.
