I am to understand that here in Oz if you go into a place of business you are required to expose your face. With all the CCTV footage covering towncentres it is also preferable to expose your face for identification purposes. This includes hoodies, balaclavas, motorcycle helmets and (in the case of an actual business such as banks or convenience stores) your sunglasses (since you are not out in the sun). Why should the niqab (a cultural rather than religious garment) get preferrential treatment?
The fact the these pieces of clothing and PPE have been used to commit crimes makes it awkward to allow the niqab.
