Would “communist Hong Kong” crackdown on private Tiananmen square vigils?

Published

on

Activists are demanding justice for those who were killed in the 1989 massacre.

Vigils around the world will be held on Saturday 4th of June in response to the cancellation of Hong Kong’s vigil.

Annual vigils in Hong Kong have been running for more than 30 years.

They were banned in 2020 due to Hong Kong’s national security law and Covid-19.

Stijn Deklerck from Amnesty International says it has been impossible to commemorate what happened in Tiananmen square.

“We’ve really seen a very fast cracking down since the national security law came into effect”

Hong Kong in the past have held the biggest memorials, remembering those who were killed in the Tiananmen square massacre.

Instead, cities like San Francisco, Seoul, Taipei, Sydney, Paris, London and Amsterdam will hold their own vigils.

Amnesty International says “the simple act of lighting a candle for Tiananmen has become a crime in Hong Kong, just as it has been in mainland China for more than 30 years.”

“But history cannot be erased, and activism will never be silenced.”

The massacre left hundreds, even thousands of students and workers dead, for calling on the government to make economic and political changes.

Activists are urging Chinese authorities to come clean to bring justice to those who lost their lives.

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.
