The question the Australian government perhaps should answer is why Qatar Airways became our national carrier during the pandemic, while Qantas Airways pocketed god knows how much in public funds without operating a single scheduled passenger service.
so a group of women were violently sexually assaulted through no fault of their own, but the important question is why did the Qatar government continue to make lots of money, and why did the Australian government give money to Qantas who were losing money,
(so a whole lot of Australians didn’t die), because all that matters is money, money, money. I guess we have the answer right here.

Correct. The Australian government cannot force the Qatari government to do a thing. They should answer, however, why stranded Australians were forced to fly a foreign carrier while Qantas sat on their hands.

My small contribution.
QATAR banned for me and my family.
We have always flow SQ (with rare exception) so this won’t be too hard
 
Just playing the Devil's advocate...the Sin govt is about to execute a drug runner who is intellectually handicapped so why we are not saying the same thing about Sq?
 
Perhaps if those women had known that seemingly by law they could be sexually assaulted by flying into that country, they may have made different choices. If you are in Singapore and other such countries there is a known law.

Presumably because that person isn't an Australian citizen.

Qatar Airways was never the 'national carrier' of Australia. Qantas operated many scheduled passenger services. Job Keeper monies were used to pay employees, employed or stood down.

No-one was forced to fly Qatar. Qantas, a private company, chose not to fly international during the pandemic.
 
Re:My #372 post.
We all make individual choices and that is mine.
I respect others view to see differently.
Nothing more.
Its not an attempt to debate.…. ie that is the sum total of what I can do as an individual (Hence my term contribution) …not mandating all others do the same . If they did Qatar would have no market here.
The ‘alleged’ crimes occurred in the context of flying QATAR whilst the passengers were in their care.

No, Qantas did not operate consistent, regular passenger services during the pandemic.

People were forced to fly qatar as they were by and large one of the only options.

Your words were "Qantas Airways pocketed god knows how much in public funds without operating a single scheduled passenger service." Sorry, but thats simply not true. And I know (and agree with) the point you are making re 'forced' but I don't thnk thats the word to describe the sutuation.

Unless I’ve been living on a different planet for the last 18 months, Qantas has not operated scheduled passenger services since the beginning of the pandemic (with the exception of the brief kiwi bubble). And yes, they did pocket a huge amount of public funds.

People were forced to fly foreign carriers as Qantas ceased international operations for commercial reasons, as you alluded to.
