Proposed burqa ban in Australia

In Australia, there is an ongoing debate over the possibility of a ban on the wearing of burqa and niqab, conservative forms of dress for Muslim women. There are currently 14 nations that have banned the burqa and niqab, including Austria, France, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Netherlands, Portugal, Latvia, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Chad, Congo, and Gabon.

Senator Pauline Hanson has worn a burqa into parliament multiple times as a form of protest.
