No evidence Hamas stole Gaza humanitarian aid, USAID report shows
An analysis conducted by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) found no evidence that Hamas systematically stole US-funded humanitarian aid in Gaza, Reuters reported Friday. The findings challenge a justification used by Israel and the US to support a private aid initiative that bypasses the UN system amid deadly distribution chaos in Gaza.

Editorial: Tony Abbott starved the information commissioner until his office was little more than a fax machine. His successors went to extraordinary lengths to keep documents hidden. Labor promised to be different and then they were worse. http://satpa.pe/8Yw2636
A government of secrets
This is a government of secrets. It is worse even than Scott Morrison’s on the record of complying with Senate orders to produce documents. Worse even than a government run on Henry VIII clauses and hidden ministries. It meets this obligation for disclosure less than a third of the time.
