In October 2014, the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate at Parliament House in Canberra decreed that female visitors wearing a face covering would have to sit in the separated glassed-in areas of the public gallery normally reserved for schoolchildren.
2014. aasta oktoobris otsustasid Canberra Parlamendi spiiker ja senati president, et naissoost külastajad, kelle nägu on kaetud, peavad istuma avalikus galeriis teistest klaasidega eraldatud alades, mis tavaliselt on mõeldud koolilastele.
