Comment on Question: I don't agree with what Pauline Hanson did, but doesn't it kind of challenge the senate's stance on the issue to have reacted the way they did? Imagine if they had shrugged what she did off.

  in a similar fashion to how we don’t allow motorcycle helmets and other headgear which fully obscures one’s face?

  …these are allowed. In fact, it’s illegal to ride a motorcycle without a motorcycle helmet.

  I’m guessing you’re talking about special or private places like banks, but that’s not what Pauline Hanson was proposing, at all.

    Yes, to clarify, I did mean wearing a motorcycle helmet while walking into a public or commercial space like a bank, supermarket, shopping centre etc.

    I have no problems with hijab, shayla and other open/face head coverings as a self-expression of religious modesty - but at a point that ‘modesty’ is either no longer a personal choice (ie. imposed by pressure from family, friends, spiritual leaders), or begins to negatively impact public safety.

    Such garments are no longer fit-for-purpose in an a progressive society such as ours.

      supermarket, shopping centre etc

      Why? Delivery drivers across Asia do it.

        While I’ve only visited a few cities in mainland China, the food delivery drivers that I have see have all worn open-faced helmets like this:

        As to why, apart from it being generally anti-social - it’s mainly because it’s a massive security issue, as the individual in question cannot be identified in the event of assault, theft or order crimes.

  In this case no, I skimmed the video but in this case I don’t see her doing anything wrong

  It’s a bit ironic that the greens lady in the video is so loud and outraged about someone wearing a burqa, maybe because most people feel this way, just not about Pauline in particular wearing it.

  Unfortunately Nu Greens members have tied the party into a very odd spot, progressive and regressive simultaneously which is leading people to leave to labor, resulting in one of the saddest poll results ever:

  The latest Guardian Essential poll also found One Nation’s primary vote has doubled to 13% since the May federal election, putting support for the hard-right party above the Greens.

  Congrats to the greens, you played yourself
