A hell of a lot of Australians find covered faces offensive ----------- yes, offensive, very offensive

Most of my adult life, my mantra has always been; "I don't care what anyone else does, unless it affects me, and I reserve the right to do what I like as long as it doesn't affect anyone else". Leads to a stress-free life.

However I can't come at the full covering, - for the simple reason that it DOES affect me. I talk to a lot of people, connect with them. But when I can't see their face and eyes I might as well be talking to a tree. Consequently I won't have anything to do with people who's face I can't see. Its not a conscious decision. Or a result of prejudice or anything sinister. No face, no connection, no dice.
