To nobody’s surprise, the worthless Murray Watt has approved the Woodside North West Shelf gas drilling expansion, just as he was installed as environment minister to do.
The only difference between the ALP and libs on climate is that the libs are crazy or stupid and don’t believe in climate change, the ALP are cynical or evil and fully believe in it but don’t give a ■■■■.
There are some things that are litmus tests. This was one of them.
Qatar has a population of 3 million, and about 300,000 citizens. You have no farking idea about this place. The Emir is a despotic ■■■■ and there are no human rights.
The Emir does rule with a very tight fist but over the last few years he has tried to improve the image of Qatar and fro speaking to those that love there the government has implemented a number of measures to improve working conditions for foreigners and I believe they now are the only country in the ME who has a minimum wage as law, it’s only about $400/month which is still a pittance though. Have definitely noticed the difference in the last dozen or so visits though as the country has opened up considerably and relaxed a lot of laws.
The Emir was at our hotel 2 days before our last stay and he regular makes an appearance at the hotel and meets with guests and even joins them for breakfast. We have seen him walking around town as he still likes to drive himself and walk around without security.
Thanks to his policies it’s a very safe place to travel especially for women
