    "I've been asked about the burqa on lots of occasions and whenever I've been asked about the burqa I've said that I find it a very confronting form of attire," he said.

    "Frankly it's not the sort of attire that I'd like to see widespread in our streets.

    "But this is a free country.

    "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...

    It to me is one very weird attire...
