Majority of Australians Support Public Ban on Islamic Burqa

by SIMON KENT

A majority of Australians believe the traditional Islamic burqa should be banned in public places, according to a new poll.

The survey found that 43.6 per cent of respondents “strongly” support a ban on the burqa in public while another 12.7 per cent also support the idea, producing a majority of 56.3 per cent generally in favour.

The Sky News/ReachTel poll found 12.3 per cent were against a ban and 18.9 cent “strongly” opposed the idea. Another 12.5 per cent were undecided.

The topic has risen to the forefront of political debate Down Under after One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson wore a burqa in Australia’s parliament last week. As Breitbart London reported, she wore the garb to gain publicity for her push to ban the burqa in public places and the Senator’s call seems to have found resonance with a large section of the Australian public. full story
