The country which itself adopted the policy of multiculturism after Canada, is showing the signs of hypocrisy in the implementation of the policy. Recently under the proposed changes to laws in New South Wales State, Australia, police would have the power to ask for the removal of helmets, masks, face veil and even the all body garment, the burqa, under the pretext of security purposes. Refusing to abide by the law will incur fine of Aus$ 220 or in some cases would result in imprisonment up to one year along with a fine of Aus$ 5500.
Although the proposed law, which will be introduced in the parliament next week, has the provision which allow the person to request to go to a police station to be identified privately, yet it will add only in the harassment of the ladies. The legislation has been condemned by many in Australia.
