Yeah… fuck Qatar for that, goddamn thats a human rights violation if I ever saw one
There is a bit of a scandal in aus at the moment about this. Qatar asked for more international flights (they back Virgin Australia, one of 2 major domestic carriers in Australia). Government said no, for undisclosed reasons.
The “national” carrier Qantas are scumbags with the government in their pocket and likely quietly lobbied against it, but also Qatar International Airport did this to Australian citizens not that long ago:

So it’s just kind of dickheads all the way down.

At the time, the airline also said it wasn’t their fault or responsibility it happened (i.e., they had no power over it happening), but now at the hearing they claim they will ensure it won’t happen again. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

I’m sure they investigated themselves and found no trace of wrong doing.
