‘The leftist mindset is sickening': Toronto film festival backtracks after banning October 7 doco
Sky News host Rowan Dean has commented on a 'bizarre' story about the Toronto International Film Festival backtracking on its decision to pull a documentary about October 7 because Hamas didn't give legal clearance for some of the footage used. 'The leftist mindset, I mean, seriously,' he said. 'It shows the regulation mindset; it shows the complete insensitivity to Hamas ... the leftist mindset is sickening.'

Vladimir Putin not ‘backing down' from demands for Ukrainian territory amid US peace efforts
Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus claims Russian President Vladimir Putin 'doesn't seem to be backing down' from his demands amid America's efforts to end the prolonged war in Ukraine. Ms Marcus said there can't be a peace deal until an agreement is reached between Mr Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. 'For him not to have been involved in those initial talks, I think, were a problem,' she said. 'I'm definitely not a Trump naysayer. I do think he could be the great peacemaker of our time, but unfortunately, we haven't seen that happen – not in Russia ... and not in the Middle East either.'

MP's big issue with Albo's Palestine pledge
Anthony Albanese should have consulted the opposition before pledging to recognise Palestinian statehood next month, a Liberal frontbencher says. The Prime Minister unleashed a firestorm when he declared his intention on Monday. He has been both accused of 'rewarding terrorists' and praised for joining the global push to realise the rights of Palestinians. Sussan Ley has criticised him for, in her view, bungling one of the biggest foreign policy challenges facing governments and vowed to reverse Palestinian recognition. In the same breath, she has also lashed him for being 'fixated' on events abroad. Though, with more than 100,000 marching across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in protest of the war in Gaza, it is a hot-button issue for Australians – especially the many with family ties in the region. Senior opposition MP Tim Wilson on Sunday said it would have been 'sensible' to reach out to the Coalition and form a bipartisan position that could go beyond the government of the day. Opposition frontbencher Tim Wilson says Labor should have consulted the Coalition on Palestinian recognition. Martin Ollman / NewsWire Credit: News Corp Australia 'We've taken a long-term bipartisan position around a two-state solution based on a series of preconditions that we would expect in that - like the lasting security and respect for the state of Israel, like making sure Israeli hostages are returned, like making sure there isn't going to be Hamas running any government,' Mr Wilson told the ABC. 'Up until last Monday, that was also the position of the government.' He said the Albanese government has 'thrown that into turmoil by making a commitment to recognise a Palestinian state but not being able to then say if those preconditions are going to be met'. 'There wasn't the engagement with the opposition up until this point,' Mr Wilson said. 'I would have thought that actually having an engagement with the opposition for a lasting policy position from the Australian government would be a sensible way forward. 'They've chosen not to take that path.' When announcing his Palestine pledge, Mr Albanese outlined four 'commitments' he secured from Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority (PA). The first two were Hamas having 'no role' in a future Palestinian state and the PA recognising 'Israel's right to exist in peace and security'. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese pledged to recognise Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly. Martin Ollman / NewsWire Credit: News Corp Australia While Mr Albanese said Mr Abbas 'reaffirmed' his support for the second point, the PA administers the West Bank and has no presence in Gaza or over Hamas. The PA itself is often criticised for its corruption, ineffectiveness and lack of elections. The last presidential vote was in 2005. It also faces accusations of supporting terrorism by paying families of 'martyrs' – Palestinians wounded or killed in flare-ups with Israel. Mr Albanese said Mr Abbas also committed to scrapping the 'Martyrs Fund' as part of broader transparency reforms, demilitarising, and holding elections. Both independent experts and the opposition have said it is impossible for these commitments to be fulfilled before the UN General Assembly, where Mr Albanese and several other Western leaders have vowed to recognise Palestine.
