it IS starting to look bad YC.
But EVERY company and country involved in exporting to Iraq would have been in the same boat. Did America export wheat to iraq pre-invasion? i dont know, but if they did, they would have had to pay.....
Australia's AWB was not alone in exporting to Iraq, I am sure, so why is it alone "on the mat", so to speak?
Companies exporting to Indonesia would have had to pay "backhanders". Could or should that be taken as supporting the corrupt Suharto regime?
The Australian Govt would have been fully aware of the status quo.
Didnt Australia export wheat to Iraq prior to the Howard Govt's term of office? Is the previous Labor Govt without sin in this matter then?
Dunno, mate, seems a ruddy witch-hunt to me.
