Excerpt:
Liberal senator Cory Bernardi has renewed his call for a ban on the Muslim burka following this morning's anti-terrorism raids in Sydney and Brisbane.
He described the head covering as a "shroud of oppression" and a "flag of fundamentalism", adding they are "not right" in Australia.
In a tweet sent this morning after 800 police officers mounted Australia's largest anti-terrorist operation in raids on properties in Sydney and Brisbane, Senator Bernardi wrote: "Note burqa wearers in some of the houses raided this morning?"
