Christian Democratic Party leader the Rev Fred Nile is again trying to ban the wearing of the burqa in NSW.
Mr Nile's private members bill, introduced in state parliament on Thursday, would prohibit the wearing of the burqa and other face coverings in public.

Mr Nile denies the bill is anti-Muslim, saying his concern lies with national security. [Sky News] Read more
