Intro

Australia exports more arms and ammunition to the United Arab Emirates than it does to any other country in the world. And just this week Team Defence Australia holds a prime slice of real estate at a weapons fair in Dubai. But human rights advocates are calling on the government to suspend defence exports to the country over reports it’s arming a militia responsible for mass killings in Sudan. Senior reporters Ben Doherty and Henry Belot tell Nour Haydar about Australia’s growing role in the global weapons trade.
