The hijab would not be affected, as it leaves the face visible.

Education spokeswoman and Victorian candidate Colleen Harkin says students and teachers should be able to see each other’s faces for communication, identification and classroom participation.

👉 Should full-face coverings be banned in Australian classrooms, or should existing religious protections remain?

🐅 INDIA SAVED ITS TIGERS. 'THE ECONOMIST' STILL FOUND A WAY TO UNDERMINE.
writes @DrAmitSarwal

The Economist praised India’s remarkable wildlife recovery — but couldn’t resist calling it “extraordinary” that a “relatively poor country” could do something as “selfless” as protecting animals.

👉 Read our full opinion piece here
https://t.co/62qfHOdecw

That framing has sparked backlash in India, with critics calling it patronising, ignorant of history and rooted in a colonial mindset.

Long before modern conservation became fashionable, India had traditions of ahimsa, sacred groves and protection of wildlife. And decades before India became the economic power it is today, it launched major conservation programs for tigers, crocodiles, elephants, deer and dolphins.

🚨 COALITION LEADS THE AUSTRALIA TODAY MULTICULTURAL VOTER SURVEY

A new The Australia Today survey of 1,268 eligible Victorian voters from multicultural households has put the Liberal-National Coalition in front at 31%.

Read the full story here 🔗👇
https://t.co/oPA8dXLYYd

Labor and One Nation are tied on 26% each, with the Greens on 9% and Independents on 8%.

The result points to a highly fragmented contest — with just five points separating the top three.

The survey was conducted between 5 and 28 September 2026 among Australian citizens aged 20 to 60 living in Victoria, from households where a language other than English is spoken at home.

It is an indicative multicultural voter survey, not a statewide election forecast.
