The reasons face masks should be banned are:
In Australian culture only criminals wear, or have ever worn masks that cover their facial identity. Bush rangers, Ned Kelly, Bank robbers, service station hold ups with motor cycle helmets and so on.
In Australian culture we become community members by seeing each other face to face. Down at the shops, dropping children to school, at the supermarket, where ever we go we meet and greet and make friends by smiling and using facial expressions that are so numerous and complex that we can barely understand how important it is to see the face of another person when we are inter-acting as part of the great Australian multi-ethnic society that we are.
It is not possible to be an Australian community member unless other Australian community members can see your face.
There are two reasons why people wear face masks in Australia. One is to hide their facial identity while committing a crime.
The second is purportedly as part of the totalitarian ideology of Islam.
The first reason is already unlawful - wearing a disguise to commit a crime is already a crime in itself.
The second, the Islamic reason, is abhorrant to any capacity to make friends.
250 child brides in Melbourne in 24 months, some as young as 9 years old. Female children, girls, babies really, are either forced to accept sexual intercourse with an older man by their parents, siblings, family, and family of the paedophile. Or, if they do not accept and resist, they are locked in the bedroom. raped and bashed until they do. and only when they are submissive are they allowed out with a male family member or the mother in law and even then they must wear a face mask. This is happening in Australia - now.
I am against face masks because these girls wearing facemasks can never make friends.
They can never smile at an Australian.
They can never become Australian.
They are condemned to a life of subservience and isolation.
The Islamic face mask must be banned in Australia. Now.
