People who can play a bagpipe should go a long way.

Indeed they should.

As far away as possible!

What I want to hear is that ALL girls can attend school on an equal basis to boys. That they are being supported in wearing the school uniform and making the most of their school years. NOT being limited in any way by claimed 'modesty', gender difference that negatively stereotypes and restricts girls, based on 'cultural' or 'religious' edict.

Dear Foxy,

«So why come to a country like Australia if you want to maintain customs of past centuries?»

Perhaps because the climate is better.
Perhaps because there are no wars here.
Perhaps because there are no serious earthquakes.
Perhaps because you have family and/or friends here.

I know real examples for all the above 4 reasons, but of course there could be many more.

.. Perhaps because one just loves kangaroos and koalas?

Well. I love kangaroos, great meat almost fat-free and tasty as well.

Koala, I haven't tried but many years ago a mate, a full tribal man,
told me that it was lousy tucker but probably good for a cold.

I see that a local poll on the subject found 56% in favour of banning the Burqa and only 12% not which is a result far stronger than for SSM.
