Conservative Australian values are with P Hanson who will wear a mini skirt into Parliament , say it has no place there and rip it off. Even more shocking, her dress finished five inches above her knees. Following her appearance, the front page of The Sun newspaper raged: “There she was, the world’s highest-paid fashion model, snubbing the iron-clad conventions of fashionable Flemington with a dress five inches above the knee – NO hat, NO gloves and NO stockings!” Derby Day racegoers were horrified. To this day, many believe Shrimpton’s Melbourne Cup Carnival attendance to be Australia’s biggest fashion scandal and demand the burqa , hanging and the lash be brought back.

There was nothing utopian about traditional Aboriginal society, which was characterised ... White settlement brought to Australia all the advantages of one of the ...

Isn't it great to make fun of customs, fashions,
and fads. From clothing to hairstyles to music.
However we now live in different times. Australia
like other Western nations far from the conflict
and instability of the Middle East, is being
forever changed by the spectre of terrorism.

Whether we like it or not, we are in a war against
the indiscriminate and cowardly evils of terrorism,
which is intent on hitting soft civilian targets.
Most recently police in Sydney say they uncovered
a plot to bring down a plane with explosives.

ASIO is aware of at least 100 Australians who joined
Islamic State in Iraq or Syria in the past year.
145 passports according to The Age have been cancelled,
26 have been suspended and 22 applications from people
assessed as seeking to join IS have been refused.

In terms of total population, or of the Muslim community
of 600,000, these numbers are small. But as we've seen
in Barcelona, London, Paris, or Sydney and Melbourne,
even a lone-wolf actor, or a small terrorist cell, can
wreak senseless and devastating tragedy.

Therefore calls for a ban on full face veils and full
body coverings make perfect sense.

"Burqa" and "bomb" have different spelling unless it's made of plastic-explosive cloth for Woolworths fresh food , that's why I choose Coles.

Wearing the Burqa or wearing the swastika, same ideology

IS future terrorists from all over Australia thankyou for your tip"

Hardly, it's so darn obvious even the lame brain would be terrorists that we have so far had in Australia would see the obvious; as obvious as the trams and their right of way that go through the bollards (whatever) that have been put in Melbourne.

Do those bollards carry safety notices and do they progressively crush so no offender can possibly be harmed? Unlike the public, offenders have rights you know.

Bollard control should be tightened, that goes without saying. Ban the tactical-looking ones, no black with hand grips, no rails and absolutely none that can be locked and loaded into place. A national bollard registry? Costing millions and totally worthless? What a good idea. We care talking political decisiveness and strong mage, so money is no object.

What about police command? Are police commanders multiculturally sensitive and aware just how vulnerable those 'Allah's snack bar' yelling, impressionable, misguided young fellows are feeling and how it is definitely Oz society's fault?

Counsellors and Wa Wa Wambulances to be on constant stand-by.

Hey, so the public can wait for an ambulance, these are vulnerable and high priority, they are the real victims.

Good that is all fixed.

Now for the pollies, they shall have armed police protection right there next to them. Why? Because they can.
