Foxy,

Do you have knowledge of "support and cooperation" from the Muslim community, or are you just slavishly repeated what robotic George Brandis said?

PS, Foxy,

You say Hanson should not have been allowed in wearing Muslim clothing. I take it that you would say the same thing about a real Muslim dressed similarly? Also, as the this mode of dress is NOT BANNED, and will not be banned according to Brandis, why should Hanson not have been allowed in wearing it?

How do they contribute?
They change the voting demographic to be more in line with the passing of anti-australian progressive socialist agendas.
It's very 'liberal' so they say...

Now the public is presented with the hens* fight club, the womens movements' contribution to the federal Senate, the two Hansons, Sarah 'Patrol Boat' Hanson-hyphenated and 'Redhead'(by nick and by behaviour) Pauline, facing off, with the arguably more foolish of the two, namely 'Patrol Boat', frothing up something truely dreadful to shock her presumed bovine audience into gasps of self-righteous (and fearful) indignation,

"'The next attack in Australia will be on your head': Greens attack Pauline Hanson"

The 'Progressive' elements of the Parliament and the leftist media could be seen as placing Pauline Hanson on the pyre of political correctness. With those 'Progressives' as the apologists, the 'White Knights' for Islam, who have now declared the hateful burka to be a 'religious garment', implying sacred and the 'false' wearing of it to be 'sacrilegious', heresy against Islam' and tantamount to a hate crime that might presumably be pursued by 'their' Human Rights Commission.

Brandis was ill-advised to show any reaction to Pauline Hanson's stunt. It was just one of many silly stunts seen in and outside the Parliament. That Brandis' reaction was so theatrical in itself, while so cringingly politically correct, is proof that the government has lost its way and is feeling a need to genuflect every which way.

Will there ever be another Bill Leak to draw this daily charade?

Dear ttbn,

I've already explained as to why Ms Hanson should
not have been allowed into the Chambers wearing
the burqa. Read my previous posts. She is not a
Muslim, and it was a stunt. Her intent was not
in keeping with the position that she has been
privileged to be given. She should respect both
her position and the Parliament of which she is
now a part. She could have dressed as a
clown, the elephant man, the Queen of England,
or the grim-reaper, - it would have
been just as inappropriate. The Senate is not a
circus and senators do not play dress-ups.
As I stated earlier - when I was visiting Parliament
House in Canberra during winter one year, I was asked
to remove my hat (beret) in the visitor's gallery.
Hats were not allowed - except for religious reasons.
And the security guard stood over me until I took
my beret off. Those were the rules. The same should
have applied to Ms Hanson.

Here is a former top muslim leader who agrees with Pauline.

Read his comments below, with an ABC interviewer no less.

The ABC helps Islamists. A presenter interviews a former top Muslim leader who agrees with Pauline Hanson that the burqa should be banned. But that comment is left out of subsequent ABC roundups of opinion, which have Muslims criticising Hanson. The ABC also hosts a "debate" defending the burqa and publishes a hardliner savaging Hanson as a racist.

Yes, it was an ABC presenter who interviewed a former top Muslim leader and got an unexpected response:

On Friday, Haset Sali, a Muslim lawyer and businessman, was interviewed on ABC Sunshine Coast local radio in Queensland.

Mr Sali, described by ABC Sunshine Coast as a “prominent Australian Muslim”, told presenter Jon Coghill in an interview that he supported Senator Hanson’s push to ban the burka.

A former president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils and one of its founders, Mr Sali told the ABC that the Koran did not require women to cover their faces.

“I don’t often applaud Pauline Hanson — whether it’s a stunt or an initiative to highlight something that’s unnecessary baggage that has been dumped in with Islam — (but) it’s about time the myth of the burka being Islamic dress was blown out of the water,” he told the ABC.

“The sooner Muslim women get rid of this hideous garb the better.”

Sali also told The Australian the burqa was not a "religious garment", as Attorney General George Brandis had falsely and dangerously claimed:

“The burka is a Bedouin hangover that has been blamed on Islam,” he said. “The Koran makes it very clear (in chapter 24, verses 30-31) that there is no need for anyone to wear a burka if they are to be a good Muslim.

“They are only required to dress modestly and women are required to cover their breasts in public. It has got nothing to do with Islam.

One would think this bloke knows his stuff.
