Yes, Australia is a democratic government. I don’t understand where I’m claiming it isn’t. However the airline industry is not run by the Australian government, instead it is run by a for profit capitalist company (in this case the Qatar government), who’s intensive is to maximize the profit for their shareholder. The Austrialian government doesn’t even own the majority shares of the airline in question.
