Women on flight from Qatar to Australia reportedly internally examined on tarmac after premature baby found in Doha airport bathroom.

Time to give Qatar's deal the boot?

Women on flight from Qatar to Australia reportedly internally examined on tarmac after premature baby found in Doha airport bathroom.

Time to give Qatar's deal the boot?

It was time to do that years ago.

In fairness, it was the Qatar Airport Authority (not the airline) that was responsible for this latest disgrace. But they're all ultimately owned by the Qatari Royal Family.

If ever a sponsor was at complete odds with a club's stated values, its this one.

This issue got Bruce in quite a deal of trouble from Brenda in the Balnarring household this morning. Bruce was insufficiently shocked.

Bruce tried to point out that he’d been banging on about Qatar’s human rights record for years following the World Cup scandal but it fell on deaf ears.

Bruce clearly doesn’t care enough about women’s issues.

This is the time to ditch them as a sponsor. It has always been a poor look, now the club can't defend taking their money any longer.

Should we dump VW for the emissions scandal while we are at it?

Pretty sure QBE are sh*t insurers as well from memory

Wait until people learn who founded VW.

That is quite an intelligent 6 year old daughter you were debating there.

Yeah won't payout on a pandemic.

Yeah won't payout on a pandemic.

No insurer does

I don't think you can compare sexual assault with car emissions. I understand what you're getting at though. One rule for Qatar Airlines and another for VW.

Sadly a new born was dumped in the toilets of an airport. However let’s focus on an airline that has no control over airport staff searching for the mother.

Sounds pretty scary. Delayed on tarmac for few hours, then women removed to locked ambulances, not made aware of reason or the baby connection, not given English, driven outside airport then subjected to invasive vaginal exam/stripsearch. Or so I read. Some people (whether confused or contextually cognisant) wouldn’t be able to handle something like that, and not a good look for a regional airport hub. Qatar authorities appropriately owning up to mistake and rectifying, but still a travel nightmare.
