Andrew Bolt lashes PM for ‘comforting terrorists' with Palestine recognition
Sky News host Andrew Bolt questions Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's policy on Palestine, likening it to recognition of Taiwan. 'Prime Minister, why are you recognising a Palestinian state but not recognising Taiwan?' Mr Bolt said. 'You know what's really going on. Australia, like so many countries, is terrified of offending the Chinese dictatorship by calling Taiwan a country. It might stop buying our stuff. 'Seriously, Prime Minister, isn't it time to stand for the truth, to stand for democratic allies and stop giving comfort to tyrants and terrorists?'

'Diplomatic mess': Prime Minister Anthony Albanese continues to 'pick and choose' what Hamas propaganda to run with
The Prime Minister has demonstrated a "pick and choose" approach to what Hamas propaganda he wants to believe, Sky News host Chris Kenny has said. After Mr Albanese's move to recognise Palestine was from the office of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef for his 'political courage', Mr Albanese then quoted a statement from Hamas on Thursday to suggest Yousef had 'no means of communication', alleging it was impossible for the terrorist leader to give the quote. The Prime Minister said it 'should be a warning to the media' to be careful as 'Hamas will engage in propaganda'. A short time after, the Sydney Morning Herald clarified that it had received the statement from Yousef's office in Beitunia in the West Bank which 'issues statements on his behalf'. Sky News host Chris Kenny admonished the Prime Minister on Thursday and claimed Mr Albanese had gone along with the 'narrative promulgated by Hamas' in the demonisation of Israel and 'wild claims' of the events in Gaza, such as the alleged mass starvation. 'Now Albo has leapt upon another statement from Hamas saying Yousef didn't issue the statement because he's in an Israeli prison. Well yes, the terrorist leader has been in and out of prison but Nine media, who sourced the original statement, say it came from his office in the West Bank,' Kenny said. 'So all this had our Prime Minister today trying to blame the media for his diplomatic mess. 'Albanese knows his own office and those of other politicians constantly issue statements on behalf of their leaders. And how can he now pick and choose which propaganda statements from Hamas he believes and which he doesn't?' Kenny said Mr Albanese had been 'so reckless' in buying Hamas' narrative and that he had inadvertently fed them a 'propaganda victory' 'Just about everything Albanese has said about Gaza from casualty numbers and claims of deliberate starvation, responses to orchestrated and misleading photographs, it's all been parroting the Hamas propaganda that's amplified by the media,' Kenny said. In a separate statement to the ABC on Thursday, the terror group's official media spokesperson praised the Prime Minister's decision. "We welcome Australia's decision to recognise the state of Palestine, and consider it a positive step towards the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people," Hamas media director Ismail Al-Thawabta said. 'Such a move reflects a growing global awareness of the necessity to end the injustice suffered by our people for decades. 'We call on the Australian government to translate this recognition into concrete actions — by exerting diplomatic pressure to end the Israeli occupation." The group added that 'while recognition has come late' the move was 'better late than never.'

Coalition leader Sussan Ley addresses accusation she is ‘dodging' net zero policy decision as opposition remains divided
Coalition leader Sussan Ley has addressed the accusation she is 'dodging' deciding how to handle the opposition's net zero policy as the party room remains divided on whether or not to scrap the emissions pledge. Net zero has proved to be a contentious issue for the Coalition, resulting in a short-lived split between the National and Liberal parties in late May and prompting a handful of backbenchers to publicly oppose the policy. Despite Ms Ley touting net zero and reducing emissions as a key priority, she has faced mounting pressure from within her party to dump the policy altogether. Coalition leader Sussan Ley has addressed the accusation she is 'dodging' deciding how to handle the opposition's net zero policy. Picture: NewsWire/Martin Ollman Activist group Advance has also launched a 'nationwide pressure campaign' urging supporters to target Coalition MPs who backed net zero, vowing 'dump net zero, or we dump you", according to the Sydney Morning Herald. Speaking to Sky News on Thursday evening, Ms Ley insisted the Coalition had to 'take the time' to 'get this right'. In response, Sky News host Andrew Bolt pressed the Opposition Leader over whether the Coalition's nine to 12-month long review into net zero showed she lacked the courage to reach a decision and whether it would be a "cut-through issue" for her if she was going to "dodge it". "Not at all and not dodging it, and I've said that we will take the time that we need to to get this right," Ms Ley said. 'We need to have an energy policy that does reduce emissions, plays our part, by the way the government's emissions are going up, not down… and also delivers a reliable energy grid for households and businesses. 'But the most important game right now when energy is mentioned is holding the government to account for their 82 per cent renewable energy by 2030 fairy tale.' Ms Ley refused to provide any update on the Coalition's net zero decision and also declined to say whether she agreed with getting rid of the policy altogether having been Environment Minister in the Morrison government. 'Failures of this government are our number one priority because every opposition's task, firstly, is to hold the government to account,' she said. 'While I recognise Australians have voted in this government, I also know that they are breaking their promises.' Net zero became a critical issue for the Coalition in July when former Nationals leaders Barnaby Joyce and Michael McCormack tabled a Private Member's Bill aimed at overhauling all climate related policies. The Coalition is currently conducting a review of net zero alongside a Nationals Party review, with shadow energy minister Dan Tehan previously stating that gas would be key to policy moving forward. Mr Tehan told Sky News in early August the process could take 'nine to 12 months'.
