It seems that Australia isn't too keen on UAE...

"We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in the United Arab Emirates because of the high threat of terrorist attack. We continue to receive reports that terrorists are planning attacks against Western interests in the United Arab Emirates. Commercial and public areas frequented by foreigners are possible terrorist targets."

Sounds like a vacation paradise...

Yet they allow this company to operate their port at Melbourne.

Have an explanation for that?

Thanks. I appreciate the post. It's really sad people have to be so damned dishonest when discussing these issue.

Is that why DPW operates ports in Sidney?

Really?? You might want to re-think that assumption.

UAE-Australia free trade pact likely this year

While the US is in an uproar over the P&O to DP World merger, Australia - another of the countries that already deal with DP World - is taking a different attitude. Instead of venting distrust and skepticism towards the Arab controlled company, Australia is entertaining a new free trade agreement with the Middle East hub.
