DFAT's Marc Innes-Brown in contempt of Australian Senate for misleading on UNRWA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Marc Innes-Brown, Assistant Secretary at Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, misleads the Senate with a series of false assertions about UN Watch. Contrary to what he told the Senate, numerous of the leaders and members of the UNRWA Gaza Telegram chat group were employees of UNRWA. See: unwatch.org/un...
Innes-Brown also created a straw man by falsely implying that UN Watch's report was "promoted with a picture" of 3,000 people dancing in the street. UN Watch never used any such photo. Yet he concludes his harangue by saying, "so there's kind of sometimes kernels of truth in these claims, but there's often the multiples of people involved. There's often a degree of exaggeration." In fact, we made no such claim, and there was therefore no "exaggeration."
The lady next to him is vigorously nodding. It’s worth watching. Two liars on the bench
Liars needs to be in jail period
She is the puppet
Their pockets would be lined with the aid money as well.
WHAT IS UNWRA 😂
MAKING HAMAS ARMY,THANKS TO UNWRA.

@@supatipanno I don’t think DFAT pockets are lined with money, but their heads are full of ignorance and self importance. And now they are covering their backs, too. Very badly though.
When unrwa checked themselves they said it’s all good, nothing to worry about 👌👍
No they found only 15 of the 30 employees were terrorists, not the whole lot
Hear no evil say no evil and see no evil. Thank you
Why on earth does DFAT thinks it’s in their remit to defend UNRWA?!
It's to protect the government in office. Bear in mind that the bumbling senator is Labor so she let's him off the hook when someone else would have further questioned his sources of information.
So Australia has donated money to UNRWA for 73 years. Since 1951.
His punishment should be to go in person to check in on UNRWA and the UNRWA headquarters. You know, just to say hi to his friends.
The gov should be charged with supporting terrorism!
@@PennyEv4and aiding the laundering of Australian tax payer $$$
Excellent idea.
@PennyEv4 ABSOLUTELY CORRECT... however, we will never ever see 1% of our earned money back
What frustrates me is that I struggle to make ends meet because I pay my full share of tax and pay all my bills on time, and then the government doesn't have ANY problems WASTING money on GARBAGE, such AS THIS!!! But, if I didn't pay my taxes, I'd be PROSECUTED!! There seems to be SO MUCH MORE ROOM TO LOWER TAX RATES SIGNIFICANTLY IF THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT FOCUSED ON ITS OWN BACKYARD FIRST INSTEAD OF RUBBISH LIKE THIS!

We have the same problem in SA, and I think this is a global problem, countries pumping money into illegitimate orgs
I agree entirely. Fix the problems at home FIRST.
Same problem in South Africa
Same problem here in the states. At least Trump cut UNRWA funding while in office, but as soon as Biden came into the white house, he reinstituted their funding and actually increased it significantly. Any politician with an IQ over 75, knew where that UNRWA money was going, straight into the hands of Hamas.
Who investigates themselves?? How can that be taken seriously?
It seems that the australian police investigate themselves. It's apparently not all that unusual. But no, not to be taken seriously.
...... might as well let all criminals investigate themselves. It's ridiculous and idiotic.
Just like the tobacco industry investigated itself…we all know how that turned out.
IDF investigates themselves, and refuses third party investigations!!!
nothing to see here folks, defiantly no war crimes committed by IDF. They've thoroughly investigated and expect us to take their word for it.
Who believes Israeli allegations? Not one shred of evidence has been provided in two months yet Western governments cut funding immediately. At least Australia only suspended $6m of additional support because we'd already paid our $40m. Now the $6m is now back on and I'd support $80m given that AIPAC has twisted the arms of US Reps and Senators to suspend their $430m of UNRWA funding until 2025, resupply Israel and threaten Palestine they'd cut their aid if any Israeli is ever charged by the ICC. Why on earth does Israel deserve any support?
How nice, UNRWA is investigating itself. Hope they find something 😂
Lol ,,I Saw that too, .... An this is global ....not isolated.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There are two investigations, one internal and one independent external investigation.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 ...
@lucasreales They'll find some loose change, an emery board, dust and some crumbs. The truth? Not there.
What a liar, watch him fidget when he talks

And her questions and statements where useless! They are both trying to cover up the truth,….. and responsibility for pouring millions of dollars into a so called Humanitarian fund which in reality supports and protect Hamas!!! No one trusts UNRWA ,….. the reports are NOT exaggerated,….. they are squirming and blaming Israel because of their lack of due diligence!
He's trying not to accuse anyone specific but he really wants to...
@@TheThoughtfulMinority2067 The allegations came from the Israeli government. Is that specific enough?
@@RogerRocks We all know that but he'd be jumped on if he said it!
Liars, liars.
What a surprise an Australian government employee from DEFAT lying to cover his arse.
Normal .....................
100% agreed. They always try to desperately slander UN Watch. Hillel N is the best, and good always wins in the end
You guys are weird.
I PRAY ALL TRUTH COMES OUT !!!!!!

and what then ................... smoking mirrors ................... they are very well aware of all taxpayer funded overseas projects
Amen ...
The simple truth is that Israel is either committing genocide or dancing the can-can. And I don't reckon the IDF do the can-can.
It won't, this is a kangaroo court. Asking about essentially UN watch is trying to paint a picture that isn't true. The facts speak for themselves. The UN is clearly and factually as biased and as blatant about it as your ever likely to see in any other farse
exactly WHY have we been funding this all this time?
It's been a cash cow for the hamas terrorists.. Time that was stopped for good
To provide food and health care
@@carlaburgers3088food and health care? 😅😅😅 You just gobble up the lies of Muslims don't you.
UNWRA uses its funds to support and promote terrorism
@@carlaburgers3088 false, it's been used to fund education in terrorism, this has been exposed MULTIPLE times

DFAT asked UNWRA who asked Hamas if anything wrong was going on. They said no. Good enough for the Australian government.
Another example of over paid and under performing public servants. This last week of senate inquiries has really opened my eyes to how much of our hard earned taxpayers dollars goes to bureaucrats being paid well above their abilities. I was absolutely shocked to learn that some of these get paid well above $400K/YR
UNWRA is Hamas. Hamas is UNWRA.
Rubbish.
Right on! They are terrorists for sure
@@johnschroeder2046UNWRA supports and promotes terrorism
Agreed, total BS. The man on the ground running UNRWA in Gaza is a 20 year US Army veteran, does anyone seriously think he'd support Hamas aggression in any way?
@@TheThoughtfulMinority2067 it's not the noble men on the ground who are the issue- it's the NGO "help the world" CORPORATE HACKS and woke leftists and the tech billionaires like zuckerberg, musk, soros, etc.
All sorts of billionaire's special interest groups running the show and using the good men on the ground for their nefarious purposes- they spin the writing of their own good journalists on the ground... It's a NGO-fest of woke corporations GIVING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THE ENEMY LEADERS WHO LIVE IN QATAR...
The U.N. GAVE BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO THE HUMMUS LEADERS WHO LIVE IN QATAR RIGHT NOW!!!
The rich use their money to skew diplomacy in a pro-billionaire direction, and that includes, apparently, USING THE U.N. TO GIVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO JIHADISTS
So when UNRWA investigated itself, it found that everything was sweet. Nothing to worry about.
Seems legit.
Same as when the gestabo police investiagte themselves now since they cancelled Internal Affairs
Their investigation won't be complete for weeks yet. One of their first steps will be asking for the EVIDENCE to support the ALLEGATIONS made by Israel although all the indications so far are that THERE ISN'T ANY!!!
IDF investigates themselves, and found no evidence of war crimes.
A room full of frauds.
and we pay for their every second of living
Yep, You hit the nail on the head there, bring on the Elections.

He’s so afraid to name UN Watch who have been warning about UNRWA for decades!!!
when are the criminal charges coming?
Apparently UNRWA as mentioned on TV, employs 13,000 people. Who has been paying these salaries and from what funds. According to the continual reporting by the Media, the Palestinians have been living in pitiful conditions. From all the amounts of monies spent, it would be interesting to see how their plight has been improved throughout the years. Who has paid for the myriad of tunnels built? Again interesting to know. Rosa Larsen
Not 13,000, 30,000. Meanwhile, UNHCR, the agency for *all refugees in the world*, employ 19,000.
I love it how you ask the question as though it's some wise question that hints to a much larger mystery, when it's actually public knowledge
You mean that everyone knows that the taxpayers of every country have known all along that their hard-earned cash has been going to all these lofty? causes? I am not sure I now understand why they have "paused" their contributions? Rosa
@@peterlarsen1000 they paused their contributions because UNWRA has been outed as an organisation that supports and promotes terrorism
I've seen fish on a hook look more at ease than Mark answering those questions.

Watch how he stumbles and stares as he ums and ahs through the substantial 'processes they have in place' to 'monitor UNRWA' - not mentioning a single one. He says nothing concrete or substantial about anything, except the list of employees provided to Israel annually.
All I hear is that UNRWA was asked to investigate itself, and report back. No independent effort was done to investigate UNRWA by Australia.
Lol, he responds with double talk.
I couldn't extract a single coherent line of thought from this person testifying. Was he representing people with communication challenges? What point was he trying to make? Are the sounds "aah", "emmm"," or "errr" a form of local Aussie coloqueolisms? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 😂
It’s known as the Pinocchio dialect.
Sadly the Question is, Who Doesn't Lie in this Government ?
We are in serious trouble here in Australia and its coming from within.
We are sitting ducks.
This clip of Marc Innes-Brown & his page-turning side kick is a prime study for body language experts. Talk about GLOW IN THE DARK practice of deception! No actor awards here, they both need to be kicked out for poor performance.
What is the point of UNWRA doing an internal investigation?
Sounds like many deals been made around UNRWA...wonder why?
“Umm umm umm” the short version of his evidence
They knew exactly where the money was going.
No actions made. They werel like smokes dissapeared in the air.
What in heaven's name is the politician trying to do and why isn't she pulling up the DFAT bloke on his evasive waffle? What a charade!
wow why are we paying them anything....?...stuffem
A veery smooth and polished cover up! Should have to face a well informed critic in public.
UNWRA perpetuates dependency on itself, rather than enabling Palestinians to deal with developing self sufficiency. Why bother providing health care education and food for yourself when the UN does it for free?
We would not have a clue as to where our aid money ends up.
She is so soft on him.. incredible
He didn’t answer which specific organizations, supposedly targeted UNRWA unfairly.
I must’ve watched the wrong feed since I missed the contempt bit.
Everything he said was a lie so that would be contempt.
Believe what Israel says
Yer sure after all the lies that have been exposed already.
Well you certainly can't believe hamas or UNRWA.. Isreal will sort it out
If UNRA hasn't sorted this out in the time they have been in operation, what is the point of UNRA. the UN has another agenda here, and it's not to help the Palestinian people. why is the Australia government perpetuating the misery of the Palestinian people buy support to UNRA.
One organization with 1 billion dollars in funding for 5,6 million people, 80.000 employees of which 13.000 in Gz, 10 offices worldwide.
UNHCR, 18.000 employees working in 137 countries for 89 million refugees, 10 billion dollars in funding.
This should have raised alarm bells from the start. Just saying.
NGO's, Amnesty and many others have been raising allegations of UNRWA for over a decade. The problem is not necessarily each individual event, its the totality that points towards systemic failures of governance. UN has many other agencies that already perform similar functions across the globe and are quite capable of delivering this aid, UNRWA is not required.
Marc's secretary, "Hey Marc, we have that hearing about UNRWA in 30 minutes"... Marc caught with his pants around his legs "Umm, what is UMRA?"
Um er um,can we have an um tax in parliament
The queens act 1973 and the Australia seal act. Seem to suggest we are under forgein rule...? 🤔
Where's is wong.
The contemptuous Wong is sitting to the side.. poor thing she had to go to work. This woman asking the questions needs to stop being so apologetic.
They investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong. What a surprise.
LIARS
Another clear case of failure to undertake due diligence.
Contradicting statement he says these assistane is for only the palestine group but it is really for muslims around the world correct? Yes. So stop these misinformation please australia you have been watch by the world.thank you. Read between the line then you will catch them lying.
No, it's not! It is Only for Palestinians. And not direct refugees, but their kids and grandkids too. Even if they have long left the region, for the statistics, they are still refugees. That's how from 700K in 1948 they now report 5.6 million!! It doesn't even make sense, how is it possible...?
@annettep3352 how is it possible? You may ask the Palestine military which is the Muslim hamas terror group. Thank you
A lie is like cow poo. You can try cover it up, but you can still smell the bullsht.
A very weak examination of this official by an obviously weak senator clearly not up to the task. What about the fact that Amas used UNRWA facilities to access terror tunnels.
So they funding an organisation not knowing that the services haven't been provided to terrorist since the terrorist group is in control over thoughs regions including some have been caught working for theses organisations that countries like Australia has provided aid to
DEFUND UNRWA over 80 years teaching Palestinian to produce begging bowls. No other nation has been refugees living off handouts for so long.Enough of this playing refugees must end immediately
Why is Australian tax payers money, being sent overseas ????
HOW on earth did this bloke get a job in foreign affairs , the tax payers have been feeding this lot since 1951 , so where do you think the money is going ?
Exactly!!! He is the worst
In one way this public servant was actually refreshing. Despite providing what seemed to be agenda driven and misleading answers he did, at least, answer the questions. He did not falsely claim to either not know the answers or constantly take the question on notice and say "I will get back to you on that Senator" which most of his inept, highly paid, public service counterparts seem to use as their stock answer to everything.
This is quite painful to watch. The bias of Innes-Brown for a corrupt UN agency is very disturbing. Australia has contributed already too much over the decades and needs to stop...intergenerational refugee status is a ridiculous concept and only keeps milking the cash cow.
He didn't seem to know about the recent allegations at first, however ... there was only half a person involved ... yes a bit blurred
Marc Innes-Brown has done and is doing a very good job at DFAT under trying circumstances. His record is impeccable and has helped successive governments implement their reform agendas.
I don't want my hard earned tax dollars going to UNRWA so pls stop sending MY money to UNWRA. Can I claim a tax credit for supporting this ?
Why is so much of our money leaving our shores like this I’m an Aussie veteran and our money should go to our citizens not foreigners
Notice how he was afraid to even say our name. Mr. Innes-Brown, you misinformed, misrepresented and misled the Senate. You are in contempt of the Senate. The evidence of UNRWA staff support for terrorism is clear, and you failed to refute anything in the evidence proven here: unwatch.org/the-case-against-unrwa/
If Aust continues to fund UNRWA after this debacle, we are finished as a truth-seeking nation of goodwill. If the world continues to fund UNRWA after this debacle we will need to accept that Islamic terrorism has won the day & accept our fate & the fate of our children & grandchildren.
UNRWA is Hamas and Hamas are UNRWA! Since 2006.
Australia has been contributing to UNWRA as a refugee support organization since 1951? When does refugee status end in the real world?
Ow and Unwra also build Tunnels in Gaza under Hospitals
What a contemptible guy, evasive, speaks in platitudes, actually says nothing, totally fact free.
As one is forced from time to time to rely on DFAT representatives for the action of administrative processing, this video more than adequately demonstrates the abysmal level of knowledge, communication skills, language, and authoritarianism that DFAT officers consistently display. Dealing with many is akin to conversing with a child.
This is a PUBLIC SERVANT WHO CARES NOT about how Wecfund OUR CHILDREN IN AUST
From evidence we have seen on social media and multiple news outlets, this Innis guy appears to be telling untruths.
This guy is an apologist for UNRWA, “when we get an allegation we ask UNRWA and they tell is it’s not a problem” - what’s his position of terrorist tunnels with entrances from UNRWA headquarters? or terrorist IT infrastructure directly below and connected to UNRWA power and communications networks.
Investigate them selves
We support their education while our schools are failing our citizens 🤦🏻♀️
Chairwoman cannot address what's the accusation against UNRWA.
Gee how nice of our Government(s) both Labor & liberal to have been giving money to such lovely, law abiding civilised countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan & the West Bank & Gaza Strip areas.
GUTERREZ, UNRWA, LAZZARINNI, ALBANESE and my latest addition Martin Griffiths must be on the pay of Iran or Hamas, don't you think?
Allegations against UNRWA so serious that they got UNRWA to investigate?! And that Innes-brown character, his body language! He tries so hard to look casually dismissive, while he gives it away by squirming like a toad. Despicable liar!
This guy is a disgrace why is he still employed by our tax $$
Do UNRWA have annual audit report? Do they have books, records where we can see developments of Palestinians? Who is INRWA point man? Do UNRWA in Gaza knew their personnel and their qualifications? It is impossible for UN headwuarters not knowing where funds goes? Can UNRWA yhe developments, progress report? How is it possible for Hamas fund the enormous tunnels or underground city. Funds those numerous rockets snd armaments. Mr. white must stand investigation.
Wasn't Mr Brown.the ambassador in Teheran no wonder he supports UNWRA
Good help us if this is the quality of thinking we have in DFAT. Basically Mr Innes is saying UNRWA operates without oversight. That our money has been funding HAMAS for years. What has he been doing for the last 10years - absolutely nothing other than climbing the PS ladder. Based on the Senate review… DFAT has a lot of deadwood in it and worse its Minister seems incapable of fixing it. 🤦🏼♂️
How pathetic are the questions and deliberately unhelpful were the answers. This is a lesson in skilled evasiveness. He should not have a job in the Australian Government.
No money to Hamas
Seems like everything that should be in place has not been followed or met. Way to go DFAT.
unrwa is rotten tot the core
Is this guy for real?? He lies better than Cyril Ranaphosa...and playing the victim card...shame on you and "poor" ANWRA
Redhead Ramallah UNRWA Ham…@$$ and company mouthpiece man (PA, IJ etc)
