Australia selling military equipment to Saudi Arabia
Australia selling military equipment to Saudi Arabia during brutal Yemen conflict
Australian firms have secured contracts to supply military equipment to Saudi Arabia, an autocracy accused of ongoing war crimes in a conflict that has killed more than 10,000 civilians.
Defence has approved four military exports to the kingdom in the past year and the Australian government has led the push for more.
But the government is refusing to release details of the approved military sales, citing commercial-in-confidence rules.
Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne visited Riyadh in December to promote Australian materiel to senior government figures including Prince Mutaib bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud, the head of the National Guard.
Just amazed and appalled that we are selling military equipment to Saudi Arabia who not only have caused mass starvation in the Yemen but also are considered to support AlQaeda and IS.
