The return of the wet lettuce leaf
Middle East nations do as they please. No smacking on the wrist with a wet lettuce leaf from the Australian Government will make one iota of difference. Kashoggi was bumped off in the Saudi consulate and all Australia did was issue ‘stern words’. Too scared to say anything. Worse, Aussies were killed in aircraft that were shot down in Iran and in the Ukraine and again some ‘big words’ were spoken by our Government which amounted to nothing more than a wrist slapping with a piece wet cotton wool. And who could forget our Governments pathetic obsfucation and protection of the Malaysian Government over the MH370 dissapearance which ironically also had Aussies onboard! Sorry, nothing will come of the Qatar incidents and our female citizens having their civil rights and their front-pieces violated on the tarmac. Should we be outraged? Hell yes. Will our Guv’mint take decisive, effective strong action against Qatar? Yeah right, don’t hold your breath waiting.....
