World’s first openly transgender mayor and MP, Georgina Beyer, dies after suffering from long illness

Georgina Beyer, the world’s first openly transgender mayor and MP, has died after a long illness.

Beyer was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in 2013, which required constant dialysis.

The ground-breaking politician and activist passed away in her home country of New Zealand at 3.30pm local time on Monday.

Beyer has been surrounded by her close friends and family over the past week and had reportedly accepted her fate and was telling jokes right until the end.

There will be no funeral, but a memorial service instead – to be held at a later date.

Beyer was first elected to council in 1993, before winning the mayoral election in a landslide victory in both 1995 and 1998.

Nominated by Labour for the 1999 federal election, she won the seat from broadcaster Paul Henry, pulling off the biggest swing in New Zealand that year.

She was re-elected in 2002 and retired from Parliament in 2007.

Beyer’s election as the world’s first transgender mayor and MP attracted worldwide attention, and she featured in a number of high-profile interviews. #trending #featured

Why Australia is becoming the new home of the Hollywood blockbuster

Published

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

U.S. home prices surge 47%

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.
