” Frankly I find the burqa a fairly confronting form of of attire and I wish it weren’t worn”

That is a very personal statement even regarded  by some as bigoted given that there is no record of anybody trying to enter parliament wearing one. George Brandis of all people backed off supporting the leader. Even the AFP did not support the ban. So why is Abbott at cross purposes to his Team? He simply is so used to offending people he can’t help himself. Bronwyn Bishop has requested an independent security assessment.

This government is an act straight out of Monty Python. If a terrorist wanted to enter parliament inconspicuously they’d obviously put on a burqa a garment of first choice. With all the screening devices you need to pass through the burqa had better be the invisible cloak. In fact an invisible cloak wouldn’t really work either. A beard and sunglasses are a bit more dangerous I’d think or even one of those medical masks which obviously the PM doesn’t find confronting. Truly Monty Python and rude to boot
