They’ve been doing that for ages. Surprised that Andrew Bolt took so long to pick it up:
The ABC reports on Saudi Arabia lifting its ban on women drivers. It is described not as a Muslim country but merely a “conservative” or “deeply conservative” one, even though the ban was driven by religious edicts. But the ABC isn’t biased, of course.
