"Everyone's entitled to make their choice and if people want to wear a burqa, it's ultimately their business."
Very very well put Tony Abbott, he speaks as the majority of Australians think. I personally find a Burqa confronting...we Westerners rely much on facial expression to read a person, yet the Burqa totally covers the face...how can one feel comfortable even smiling at a person when their face is totally covered short of a slit for their eyes? Their could even be a man lurking behind that garb...
