Urgent warning for Aussies heading to holiday hotspot
Aussie travellers have been put on high alert when visiting New Caledonia. The 'risk of civil disorder and violence' was released by Smartraveller on Wednesday, more than a year after a wave of violent unrest swept across the French overseas territory. 'We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in New Caledonia. 'There's still a high police and security presence in the country. Isolated security incidents may occur across the territory.' It comes as a dispute over the political future coming to a head in the Pacific archipelago, which France took possession of in 1852. The separatists of the Kanak and Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS) announced on Wednesday that they have rejected a recent agreement they signed with French officials on a new status for the territory. French Minister of the Overseas Manuel Valls has announced that he will travel to New Caledonia next week for consultations. In mid-July, after years of failed negotiations, the government in Paris and loyalists and separatists from New Caledonia reached a deal. This provides for a separate state for New Caledonia — but within the French state. Under the deal, there would also be a New Caledonian nationality, and local officials would be given more powers. But security, defence and justice would continue to be controlled by officials in Paris. Valls described the agreement at the time as 'historic'. Representatives of the separatists signed it but did not consider that to be a binding commitment. After internal consultations, the separatists have now rejected the deal and say it does not further their goal of independence. It is unclear whether Valls will be able to change the separatists' minds. Australian travellers to New Caledonia have been warned to exercise high levels of caution in response to political unrest. Credit: Google Maps Last year, 14 people died in serious unrest in New Caledonia over a controversial electoral reform. The territory is important to France for geopolitical and military reasons and because of its nickel deposits. It now has a population of about 270,000 and gained extensive autonomy under the 1998 Nouméa Accord. In three referendums, held in 2018, 2020 and 2021, the inhabitants of the islands voted to remain part of France. The independence movement boycotted the last vote and does not accept the result. The Kanak people, New Caledonia's indigenous population, have long hoped for their own state. Smartraveller has warned Australians that 'political tensions and unrest may increase at short notice'. 'Security incidents, including arson, continue across the country. Political demonstrations and protests may turn violent at short notice. Some essential services, including healthcare, are affected.'

Albanese dismisses Hamas propaganda applauding recognition
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has urged media outlets not to promote propaganda from Hamas as he argued the listed terror group was increasingly isolated and desperate to maintain the appearance of relevance. A statement on a Telegram channel in Hamas' name on Thursday disavowed comments reported in this masthead on Wednesday, quoting senior Hamas official Hassan Yousef applauding Australia for committing to recognise a Palestinian state. 'The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) denies the issuance of any statement by Sheikh Hassan Yousef, detained in occupation jails since October 19, 2023, on the Australian position regarding the recognition of the Palestinian state,' reads the new statement. 'Hamas affirms that Sheikh Hassan is held in poor detention conditions, cut off from the outside world, and has no means of communication with any local or international press outlets.' The original comments were provided to this masthead on Tuesday by Yousef's political office in Beitunia, a town near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, which issues statements on his behalf. Contacted on Thursday, a spokesperson for the office confirmed it had released the statement and that Youssef was still in jail, but said he was expected to be released soon. 'Hamas do not want a two-state solution,' Albanese told reporters at a press conference in Moreton Bay, Queensland. 'What they want is one state and I notice in the statement that's made today, they say that the alleged statement from the person yesterday [came from] someone who's been in prison in Israel since October 2023, and has no means of communication. 'What that should be is a warning to the media of being very careful about the fact that Hamas will engage in propaganda because what is happening is the international community are united about isolating Hamas, about supporting a peaceful way forward.'
