Bronnie wanted to place these burqa wearing security risks behind closed glass, segregated from adults watching parliament and segregated from the parliamentarians. This was touted as a security measure for our protection from possible attack.

However, isn't it interesting to note that Bronnie was VERY, VERY happy to place these same burqa wearing, possible terrorists, wait for it --- AMONGST CHILDREN in the precise enclosure where all the schoolchildren sit.

This proves the motivation was NOT security. The motivation was the government "agenda" of trying to vilify Muslims as much as possible, without actually admitting it, thus gain public support for going to war again. When the water got too hot and the government started receiving electoral backlash, Hero Tony "suddenly" stepped in and quashed the idea of burqa clad Muslim segregation. It's like a comic opera.

May May, there seems to be some confusion as to what people are actually wearing, is it "the berger" or "the burper" I do believe some ethnic's pronounce it "the beanie". Just the other day I was in my favorite 'Lowes' store and asked the sales lad could I see his range of burqu's, to which, with a puzzled look, he pointed me in the direction of the Hawaii shirts. I can honestly say a floral shirt wrapped around ones head does nothing for ones sartorial elegance.

Paul,

As far as I can make out, in Australia the article is formally referred to as..... "The burqa - I think he means niqab".

Poirot, the burning question! Will I be allowed into parliament house in my Hawaii shirt and stubbies, naturally I will be wearing thongs, I do not wish to appear uncouth'd. Or is Bronnies mandatory uniform of budgie smugglers absolutely necessary. Will I be sat with the schoolies?

Poirot: "The burqa - I think he means niqab".

Poirot, people are using the Term "Burka" as a general term for all the different types offull head covering, but you know that.

I actually prefer "Bucket" or "Paper Bag" myself. Why would you do that to yourself for a start. I suggested it to my missus & she whacked me. :-)

I think some of these women, if not ordered to by their husbands, are wearing it as an act of defiance in favour of their dangerous religion. But your know that too.

MM: AMONGST CHILDREN in the precise enclosure where all the schoolchildren sit.

No I gather they were going to let the children sit in the regular Gallery. They didn't want to frighten them, apparently.

You have refused to answer the question about your Sister sister. So, I surmise that your story is Bull$#it.

You keep going on about my preference in reading but you're wrong there too. You are not really good at this are you? I'm an agnostic when it comes to Politics & who favours whom. I really don't take in interest in that sort of thing. Some thing I agree wit, some things I don't & done buy the same author, who ever it was. I don't look at that bit.

Jayb,

"No I gather they were going to let the children sit in the regular Gallery. They didn't want to frighten them, apparently."

BS, actually.

It was a hasty decision...and "burqa - I think he means niqab" wearers were to be ensconced behind glass barriers where the school children are seated.

Full-stop.
