While we're at it, let's apply the same rule to people who wear English football jerseys. That should keep a few extremists out of the country.

So long as you are prepared to bundle the fookwits who wear NRL/ARL shirts in with that.

No this i our country we can wear what we like , NRL/ AFL are the codes that we follow , pommie football stripes are foreign and should be worn only by newly intergrated new chums , untill we can show them the error of there ways...............mm

Havent we become all anti british since moving back to Oz?Give it a rest Vash,you've become very boring(and predictable)lately.

errr, yeah, right.

Anyhow - I fail to see how forcing women to cover up and depriving them of their freedom has anything to do with religion at all.

Funny.

Where have you been, to pick up that sense of humour ?

So England football shirts are still ok?

I don't think it has been unpacked yet.

It would be a tough bit of legislation to write. The "Extremely Religious Test".

What would it include?

Muslims forcing their wives to wear the full veil.
Christians who deny access to the children if the wife leaves the religion.
Jews who....
