There should be one and only one set of laws, and that is the Law of the Land. Religious and cultural practices are to be respected, but ultimately the Law of the Land must come before anything.

Everyone in Australia has the chance to participate and stand as a MP to represent the people of Australia, not a small segment of the people. It is bad enough to have so many states in Australia with three levels of governments, and I can't imagine what Australia will turn out to be if another level of divide is created.

In the Parliament, Court Houses and even some public places, no one race, culture or religion can reign supreme or differentiated. These people are just simply known as Australians. Racial issue must not come into the equation. We must start talking about one nation, one nationality and one future!

Long live Australia, long live the people of Australia.

Our politicians are weak like puss. By allowing the wearing the de facto Batman outfit in the Parliament House is going to set precedence for people to wear the same going to the bank, casino or any establishment. By the way, Batman does not cover his mouth and jaw.

I shall be scared out of my wit if the supposedly meter reader or postman come near my house clothed in such daunting "uniform".

Helmet is not allowed to be worn in many places. Why should wearing such outfit an exception? How can the bank or casino be so discriminatory to ask the bikies to take off their helmet so that the CCTV can have a clear view of their faces?

Organisation installing biometric system will be throwing good money down the drain. It must be the most unthinkable and laughable situation having someone with the whole body except the eyes covered, standing in front of the self-checking machine at the immigration control at the airport.

There must be some basic dress code when one is at public places. That dress code must be enforced. If fully clothed is permitted, the opposite should be given the same treatment.

Let's go nude in the Parliament House! Like Winston Churchill once said, "we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender".
