Sydney, Dec 2 (Ians) As a 1-0 triumph over Denmark sent the Socceroos into the last 16 of the Qatar FIFA World Cup, great joy has burst out across Australia, with more measures rolled out to fuel cheer for the team on its home soil.
In the early hours of Thursday morning, the Socceroos defeated Denmark 1-0 to clinch a spot in the final 16, marking the first time that the men’s team of Australia has made it to the knockout stage since 2006.
Regarding the result as “magnificent win,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese led the celebrations with a tweet shortly afterward, reports Xinhua.
Later in the day, Albanese also responded to calls for a public holiday to be declared.
“Too late to call a national holiday after the @Socceroos huge win against Denmark last night. But if we win the #FIFAWorldCup… that might be a different story,” the prime minister wrote on his social media.

When George Miller announced in April that he would be filming the long-awaited prequel of Mad Max: Fury Road in New South Wales, state treasurer Dominic Perrottet claimed there was “no better place to make an international blockbuster”.
Nearly four months later and Perrottet, along with the rest of the Nsw government, is overseeing the seventh week of a lockdown in a state responsible for almost half of the total production expenditure across feature films, TV, and online drama in Australia.
While the Sydney outbreak is yet to shut down sets, the rise of cases has raised questions about certain Covid policies and how they relate to the industry.
The news last week that HBO Films had decided not to proceed with Day of Abandonment following the last-minute departure of Natalie Portman was accompanied by reports producers had struggled to find a replacement willing to commit and spent two weeks quarantine upon entry into Australia.

George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa has been added to Australia’s list of high-profile productions, with filming on the origin story to commence in Nsw in June.
Set to be shot across multiple locations in Western Sydney and regional Nsw, the film is expected to be the biggest ever made in Australia, creating 850 jobs and injecting at least $350 million into the local economy.
Star Chris Hemsworth, Miller, and producer Doug Mitchell joined Nsw Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Federal Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts Paul Fletcher, Nsw Arts Minister Don Harwin, and Nsw Treasurer Dominic Perrottet in announcing the location for the project, which is being funded via Nsw Government’s $175 million Made in Nsw fund and Pdv Rebate, as well as the Federal Government’s 40 per cent Producer Offset.
Furiosa will be produced by Kennedy Miller Mitchell Films, and financed by Warner Bros./Village Roadshow for worldwide distribution.

Liane Moriarty.
In a coup for Nsw, Nicole Kidman’s Blossom Films and Bruna Papandrea’s Made Up Stories will shoot Nine Perfect Strangers, a Hulu-commissioned series based on Liane Moriarty’s novel, in the the Northern Rivers, injecting more than $100 million into the state’s economy.
Shooting will start on August 10 and Kidman and her core creative team have established an isolated production hub under police-supervised quarantine at her Southern Highlands property so pre-production can continue remotely.
As If reported, filming in Nsw was contingent on Border Force Australia granting exemptions on travel restrictions to Kidman’s co-stars including Melissa McCarthy, Luke Evans, Manny Jacinto and Melvin Gregg, and other key creatives.
Samara Weaving, Asher Keddie and Grace Van Patten have joined the cast. All hotel, medical and security costs will be borne by the production.
