Reports have confirmed, that everyone’s favourite ex-Prime Minister Tony Abbott is set to become the president of the UK Board Of Trade.

According to its website the Board Of Trade, “champions exports, inward investment and outward direct investment to deliver economic growth and prosperity across the whole of the United Kingdom.”It’s a move that will leave many scratching their heads, and no doubt draw the ire of his many enemies back home in Australia, particularly from the LGBTIQ community.

When it comes down to it, the only thing many remember Abbott having championed was the ‘no’ vote in Australia’s highly contentious marriage equality debate.

Winds of Change in Chile’s Film and TV Landscape

Anna Marie de la Fuente It’s a new dawn for Chile’s audiovisual industry. When Gabriel Boric, Chile’s youngest (at 35) and most left-leaning president since Salvador Allende, was elected in December, his pledge to more than double the state’s contribution to the arts was greeted with great fanfare.After all, Chile’s prodigious film output this past decade has been remarkable despite the scant public support it has received.“If everything we have achieved in the last 10 years was done with so little money, imagine what we can achieve with an increase in audiovisual funding!” says Constanza Arena, executive director of Chile’s film promotion org, CinemaChile.In recent years, Chile has triumphed at the Oscars, starting when Pablo Larraín’s “No” was nominated for international feature in 2012, and culminating in an Oscar win for Sebastian Lelio’s “A Fantastic Woman” in 2017.
