Alarming, surely dealing with the devil brings no good.

Please stop this organised hateful campaign against Pakistan

more corruption to add to the corruption

Disgrace

Mick_Peel Unbelievable

Oh ffs, here we go again. Way way beyond a sham.

bsadams25 I want all ties cut with Saudi Arabia except for those women (and men) seeking asylum

YemenGenocide

Why not to Yemm government so they can defending themselves against very powerfull Suadi?

bradthegunn There's nothing like making money on unethical deals while dancing with the devil. The Khashoggi murder all but forgotten; innocents locked up in prisons.. Hey, who cares.

MSMWatchdog2013 To kill some Yemeni children, no doubt...

MSMWatchdog2013 Grubs

Mvetustissima Oh God! If only that taxpayer money was spent on us, the taxpayers. Liberal

From the article: 'The Australian Government has been saying repeatedly: 'Trust us, we're abiding by the terms of the arms trade treaty, we're abiding by our human rights obligations',' Ms Pearson said. We know how well they abide by human rights obligations!

Shameful

Disgusting.

Absolutely sickening...

When are the First World Countries going to stop providing killing machines to despot third world regimes? We have become part of the murdering system .All for money.

This is disgusting!!

I suppose this answers the question on why we are asking Saudi women where their guardians are when they arrive in Australia. God forbid we should piss someone off that we want to sell weapons too. I don’t recognise Australia anymore - what have we become

There should be a rule, if you wouldn’t send your daughter to a country you shouldn’t do deals with that country

Oh yes let’s sell arms to mongrels like the Saudis who will kill and maime Yemenis and when they seek asylum will lock them up in detention.

Gov. pork barreling all the way to election day.

Are they Aussie or are they US

So we are selling weapons to countries bombing shit out of other countries, murdering kids, creating refugees and then crying blue murder when the refugees turn up here seeking asylum - we deserve whatever we get

NO THANKS!!!!!!

Why is it called the department of defense when it should be called the Department Of ATTACK , as the aim is selling Weapons to kill People !!!!!!

Replace the 'Australia Government' with the 'poor taxpayer' is providing tens of millions ......... It is much more accurate

pedwards2014 This is not ok.

This needs a lot more anger and fury. We should be as angry as Canadians were / are.

“Saudi Arabia, a country at the centre of a growing international furore over its complicity in war crimes in Yemen and the brazen murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.” 😡

That will do me!

Oh ffs

Disgusting

Once again we are trying to have blood on our hands. By you selling lots of weapons many innocent lives are in danger. And the sad thing is that back home we have our PM complaining about refugees. Mate you need to go ahead with one of the options😕

Lets give weapons to those people who behead people in the street... Whoever had this idea should move there

Because Australian government are a proxy for US state terrorism, since the end of WWII.

So secret

It must be ok, Saudi is a member of the UN, right? LOL.

More secrets.

Saudi our allies in the middle east, so they and us can do whatever... Democratic country can say that bombing Yemen is bad but supplying weapons to the country that does it is fine

Australia’s moral compass is well and truly gone! This is just disgusting!!

Inside story: The doctors' deal behind the deal on the contentious medivac refugee billThe deal tied together this week had its roots in an understanding months ago between Kerryn Phelps and Richard Di Natale. This whole saga is pure theatrics. The dimwits pictured here are just puppets who have been manipulated by higher forces. This is simply an incremental step in the plan for a borderless world. It’s happening in the EU, the UK and every other western developed nation! Wake up! Stupid virtue signaling showboating. Disgraceful dereliction of duty to Australia. We have been let down by the political swill. ‘Historic defeat’ or ‘feminist driven treachery’. Easy to see which side of politics Sydney Morning Herald is a mouthpiece for!
