@colleenhartlan1 @Ausbobsmit You do realise the problem is not that they choose to cover themselves but that Australians are being told to cover up as not to offend them. Do as you please but leave the rest of us alone to make our own clothing choices.

@Ausbobsmit And what is your problem with this , I brought my swimsuit from a Muslim dress site minus the hijab it long trousers and a TShirt top especially good when I go to the beach as I don’t get sun burn

Swimmers at an Australian public pool have been ordered to cover up for a family event to be held during the holy month of Ramadan next year, to avoid offending Muslims. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) has approved a ban on uncovered shoulders and thighs for a community event to be held at the Dandenong Oasis, a municipal pool. "Participants aged 10 and over must ensure their bodies are covered from waist to knee and the entire torso extending to the upper arms," a request by Dandenong City Council and the YMCA states in an exemption application to the Equal Opportunities Act. "Participants must not wear transparent clothing."
