When I backpacked, when I was much younger, I was aware of the rule of law as I travelled. I believe we would all try and mitigate risk and knowing what I know now, I will now avoid all transfer through the Middle East once borders reopen.

Yes, Australia's record (the last 5 years) in stopping Aboriginal children being used as quasi-sex slaves has got worse.I can respect that, and many here will be doing the same. But will you apply the same principle to all the other countries with egregious human rights records? Even the USA - death penalty for children. Russia ... China, Iran, etc, etc. Have you seen what the Human Rights watchers say about Australia?
It’sa tricky one.

Maybe it’s just that with the internet we find out about more instances of humans treating other humans appallingly, but it is really taking the shine off travelling anywhere for me. We may not be perfect in Australia, but we seem to be more considerate of others than in many other parts of the world.

I wonder if Asian implies Indian or Filipino and perhaps we can work out the rest of the story from there.From today’s SMH:
“Dubai: Qatar's public prosecutor has filed criminal charges against an unspecified number of police officers working at Qatar's Hamad airport after women said they were invasively searched there last month”.
The rest of the article follows, saying it was an Asian mother now overseas. The father is aware of the birth.
Curious, report on ABC said that the father has been identified & confirmed by DNA test.I wonder if Asian implies Indian or Filipino and perhaps we can work out the rest of the story from there.
Agree, although thinking that it is likely DNA wasn’t simply on file but once they had determined the mother then enquires would have insisted on DNA sampling of implicated parties. He may not have even known. Well, that will be his position no doubt.Curious, report on ABC said that the father has been identified & confirmed by DNA test.
From this SBS News article: "The public prosecutor said the mother and father were from "Asian countries" which in Qatar typically refers to the nations of South Asia where a large number of migrant workers come from." Also says that the mother sent the father a photo of the newborn baby before departing the country.![]()

Seeing as women are jailed for having sex and men aren’t, I hope she gets to stay wherever she is.
If the father was in a position of power over the woman the father may never be outed.
IF so, this would not be the first time a migrant housekeeper had been appalling treated by her ‘owners’. Of course, it may be one of her own cohort. In which case he may still be there to be able to have a DNA check.

Well, sadly, that's what she tried to do.That’s not her only problem. According to the SMH the Public Prosecutor has charged her with attempted murder.
