Australia is expecting a report on the strip search of two nationals at Hamad International Airport, above, from the Qatari Government this week. The two women wanted to remain anonymous and did not know each other before boarding the flight to Sydney. Foreign Minister Marise Payne said the "grossly disturbing, offensive, concerning set of events" had been referred to the Australian Federal Police (AFP). Senator Payne, who is also Minister for Women, said she was expecting a report on the incident from the Qatari Government this week. "We have made our views very clear to the Qatari authorities on this matter."
