Hassan Yousef is a prisoner of Israel & has been held captive by them since Oct 2023.
How did Matthew Knott manage to communicate with a prisoner inside an Israeli prison? π€
Who initated the idea?
Who organised it?
And how was this alleged statement obtained from the prisoner?
By what means?

Interesting to see Albanese today in a presser draw attention to the obvious agenda from the Israel lobby by obtaining an alleged statement from an alleged Hamas leader & placing it in front of their favourite journalist - SMH's Matthew Knott
Such junk journalism.
Israel's agenda here is so clear

More than half of Australians (61%) say they have not heard, or are not sure if they have heard, the term βclimate riskβ.
Only two in five Australians (39%) say they have heard of the term βclimate riskβ.
When asked if they were aware of any actions the federal government is taking to manage or reduce the negative impacts of climate change:
59% of Australians either arenβt sure or are not aware of any actions.
40% of Australians say they are aware of actions the federal government is taking to manage or reduce the negative impacts of climate change.
Ahead of @jimchalmers.bsky.social Productivity Roundtable, the govt still hasnβt released the national climate risk assessment. Most Australians havenβt even heard of βclimate riskβ while insurers, polluters & govt act on data the public canβt see.

EV drivers set to pay road user charges as record number of electric cars selling in Australia
PM says sustainable revenue for roads is needed as report shows nearly one in 10 new car sales are electric vehicles
I mean, if youβre worried about falling revenue, the govt could just stop giving away $10bn in fuel tax credits, which even the OECD says is just an industry subsidy that should be dumped.

Once upon a time a carbon price was politically centrist in Australia.
Now? Both major parties like subsidising and building new gas and coal.
So apparently that's politically centrist. But it's definitely not evidence-based.

Australia Institute research shows WA's gas exports create more emissions than ALL of Australia's coal power stations COMBINED.
But WA is the ONLY state without a 2030 climate target.

It's amazing how so many thousands and thousands of Palestinians "are Hamas" according to Israel - young children, teenagers, doctors, journalists, pet donkeys, all Hamas - and yet Israel can't seem to extinguish the omniscient Hamas

Labor keeps βdireβ climate report under wraps
The government has delayed the release of a βshockingβ assessment of climate changeβs effect on the economy, just weeks before its 2035 target decision.
Why wonβt Labor release the βdireβ βshockingβ βextremely confrontingβ Nation Climate Risk Assessment?
Perhaps because it doesnβt sit well with their policy approving massive new fossil export projects?
