Team Australia finds the burqa an affront to our sense of
decency. Abbott kicked off the draw by declaring the headdress frankly
confronting and a threat to Parliament.
What happened to the Team Australia that would have laughed
themselves silly watching pollys getting biffed by a woman with a bee in her
bonnet? It should be encouraged.
George Brandis, who could be mistaken for a sleeper of the
American Tea Party, very surprisingly helped save our dignity. He bravely
defied his Captain, declaring what woman wore was none of his business and that
the negative stance was untimely. It’s likely he lobbied against the Bishop
proposed segregated seating, which has a strong pong of ‘Mississippi Burning’.
