Hi Mohammed. Are you referring to me regarding Aborigines and our indigenous population? They were not used for labour here in building Australia as a nation, it was the convicts that were imported from the UK that helped to build this UK colony. There have been acknowledgements from our Government as well as financial compensation that the indigenous population was not treated properly in certain aspects of our history. The Aboriginal population is celebrated in this country with their music and art. There is a genuine effort to try and balance any inequality that may exist with this demographic. Such as advantages in government positions and extra assistance with education and many many other forms of support.
I think the point that CN is trying to make is that Dubai or UAE is not St Tropez. I think it is trying to compete with this market and it is just not in the same league. At the end of the day, it is a strict muslim nation. You cannot get around that. You cannot mistreat women and in particular western women and then turn around and say you wanna hang with us. It doesn't work that way.
