Tony Abbott says he doesn't support banning the burqa, but admits he finds it "confronting" and wishes people wouldn't wear it.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has expressed support for a push to ban the burqa from Parliament House on security grounds, prompting senior Liberal figures to distance themselves from him.
And with parliamentary officials expected to rule on a possible ban as soon as next week after receiving advice from security agencies, Mr Abbott's comments prompted a backlash from sections of the Muslim community.

Fairfax Media revealed on Wednesday Mr Abbott's most senior adviser, Peta Credlin, had told backbench MP and burqa critic George Christensen she also supported a ban in Parliament. Mr Christensen and South Australian senator Cory Bernardi have led the push to ban the garment in Parliament House.

Rather than hauling the duo into line, Mr Abbott said he found the burqa a "fairly confronting form of attire and frankly I wish it weren't worn".
"We are free country, we are a free society and it's not the business of government to tell people what they should and shouldn't wear," he said, before adding he was unaware of any record of anyone attempting to enter Parliament wearing the garment.

A bitter political debate is stirring among Quebec's two main political parties over western Canadian oil being exported to the world through the province.
Oil shipments on the Saint Lawrence River are increasing this fall and could more than double in four years.
The opposition Parti Quebecois is slamming the Liberal government for allowing the oil into Quebec, saying the Liberals don't have guarantees on either jobs or environmental safety.
The PQ hit back, saying that when the PQ was in power last term, it encouraged an Enbridge pipeline reversal to bring Alberta oil to Quebec.
That was different, said PQ energy critic Bernard Drainville.
Let's not mix up two things. We have one project, it's for Quebec's consumption needs and it's going to be maintaining, creating jobs in Quebec, he said.
This new project by Transcanada would bring supertankers through the Levis terminal and up the coast to a new terminal to be built in Cacouna. Up to 150,000 tonnes of oil per day would be shipped in, much of it for export to foreign markets.
The PQ said that is too risky and since marine transport is a federal domain, it's out of Quebec's control.
Hey, look, the Saint Lawrence River is the main reservoir of drinking water for the population of Quebec, said Drainville.
