English which is mainly made up of German, Latin and French?

Spirituel is just acceptable as spiritual.

DFAT says English is Australia's national language.

"Our federal govt really messed this one up. All they had to do was to ban any form of identity-concealing attire for visitors to Parliament."

They sure did mess up. Didn't engage the brain before reacting. Could have been a Ban for anyone "covering their face". Not that I think that is necessary, but better than the burqa 'hysteria' they caused.

Low calibre of people running this country..rumour !

"'Burqa ban' imposed after anonymous radio rumour reached parliament
Speaker and president of Senate introduced rule after hearing from AFP that Channel Nine were anticipating a protest"

There was a clear and known threat to parliament by a group who would be wearing burqas. That threat was acted upon by the federal police and the Speaker acted appropriately in the circumstances.

What I wonder is why so many on here are joyfully and gleefully denigrating our country and its institutions. If there was a real threat and it eventuated in parliament that day would you all be happy then, would you all be able to put away your bias and partisanship and one eyed askance  and support our country?

Why are all the left on here supporting a garment that oppresses women?? that's the real queastion here and we have gone over it time and time again and yet the left think its a subject that they can make sport out of  to satisfy their bias, to smugly and slyly denigrate our government and country.

Thank God that the small pond of dwellers on here is not the norm out in the real world. The annonymous  socialists sitting at their   cowards keyboards churning out their own agendas, pouring scorn on our country.

i thought that too but ultimately -

only one group of people would be affected

so it would have been seen as targeting those

anyway.

The "threat" was from a talk-back caller.   They are scary, those bogan rednecks.

So the Govt calls it a burqa ban and there is no doubt who they are targetting?. Right, that makes sense, not.

The bureaucrat in charge of Parliament, Carol Mills, revealed that though Australia's terrorist threat warning has been raised, there had been no change to the rating for Parliament House.

Staff were warned last month to draw blinds, not discuss where they worked while with friends and to vary routes to work.

But Ms Mills admitted she had not taken the advice.
