Should the Burqa and Niqab be banned in Australia?

 Not really IMO.   Sometimes I don't want to answer my door.

 I have the same address, but different suburb, as a gun shop.

 Get numnut rednecks knocking. Do ya think I wanna answer my door often?

 Mostly people who know me, call ahead, or I may not answer.

 Like I said, if you are a worker, the doorbell would go unanswered as well,

 so what's the difference?

[bushies.girl]

Not wanting to and not being allowed to are hardly the same thing imo

Semantics.

 i.e. you're not allowed to park in a No Standing Zone,

 but sometimes you want to.

Is that also oppression?   Or a law?

They have their own laws

 I choose not to argue about muslims, either way.  It does not affect me at all.

 And I have no interest, except for my first post above re the Irish girl

 and the burqa

Yeah, I dont have a lot of interest either 🙂 Much more important things in my life atm 🙂

Yes, already got that from iap*s posts.

Do we always have to account for the 1% or less of people who think a man may be under a burqa? I think not.

Burqa's are blue anyway.

If we are going to make a loud noise for the -1% of people who wear the black material I think we can cater for other small numbers of enquiring people. We don't have another whited sepulcher on our hands do we?

Yes and it's called oppression. Male dominance.

I am not sure I would agree with that. It's not oppression if you choose to do it because he likes it. I don't think I was oppressed because mine didn't like curry and I made something else instead.
