		BRONWYN BISHOP: Oh, we had a national issue and as I went around marginal seats, as I talked to my own constituents on bus stops, the overriding issue was interest rates.
		BRONWYN BISHOP: Well, the high principles of free enterprise are very important to me. Civility is important to me. And if you are going to have those principles working, you need to have a situation where you're not yelling at each other to get your points of view across.
		BRONWYN BISHOP: I think the language that Paul Keating introduced into the parliament, which we'd never seen before, is just dreadful language and I don't think you need to use that sort of language to make a political point, and I don't think the rest of Australia does either.

	The World Today - Bronwyn Bishop calls for hijab ban in schools
		New South Wales Liberal MP, Bronwyn Bishop, sparked the debate by calling for a ban and saying that the argument that wearing the hijab gives a sense of freedom is the same sort of argument that Nazis used.
		BRONWYN BISHOP: Public schools where there is a uniform, the uniform is a great leveller, it is a great sign of a society that is working with different cultures.
		BRONWYN BISHOP: It's not about headscarves per se, it's about a clash of cultures where there are extremist Muslim leaders who are calling for the overthrow of the laws that indeed give me my freedom and my equality as defined by the society in which I live.

	The World Today - Bronwyn Bishop revisits Heiner affair
		The Federal Parliamentary Committee, chaired by Liberal MP Bronwyn Bishop, has recommended that a special prosecutor be appointed to look into the shredding of documents by the Labor government of the day.
		BRONWYN BISHOP: I think the real tragedy of the Heiner affair is had there been a clean-up instead of a cover-up, then subsequent abuse of children and other vulnerable people in the community could've stopped.
		There is evidence of a young girl who, again at a detention centre run by the state government, was raped subsequent to the shredding of the documents.

		Mrs Bronwyn Bishop —The additional point of order is that the concluding remarks in the question were not necessary to the asking of the question and were out of order in terms of the standing orders.

		The committee, chaired by the Liberal MP Bronwyn Bishop, is ostensibly looking into crime in the community, but has been described by Labor as a "joke" and a "farce" designed to damage the State Government before the election.

	Viva free speech as Bishop joins battler's bandwagon - National - smh.com.au
		The Federal Government's response to Pauline Hanson's jailing descended into confusion yesterday, with Liberal backbencher Bronwyn Bishop claiming Hanson the victim of a political fix, even as her colleague Tony Abbott was accused of being the fixer and her deputy leader denied there was any fix at all.
		Mrs Bishop declared Hanson to be Australia's first political prisoner and worried about the consequences "in a country where freedom of speech and freedom to act as a political individual is sacrosanct".
		Mrs Bishop denied she was simply responding to the apparent resurgence in support for One Nation following the sentencing - a weekend poll showed 21 per cent support for the party following the jailing.

		Bronwyn Bishop has put her hand up to be next in line for a public bashing over her “misunderstanding” of the Religion of Peace.
		Later, Mrs Bishop told the Herald she had singled out the muslim headscarf because no other religious group was arguing for the fundamental rules of society to be changed.
		Far from disagreeing with Mrs Bishop, I’d like to ask why the entire Cabinet is not soundly behind her, and acting upon the obvious desire of the electorate at large.

	Mrs Bishop and the cloth - On Line Opinion - 6/9/2005
		When it came time to having Muslim Australians assist Mrs Bishop in stacking her branches as a defensive mechanism against what she saw as infiltration by supporters of NSW Opposition leader John Brogden, Mrs Bishop was most enthusiastic of Muslim involvement.
		While listening to Mrs Bishop discuss the issue with Terry Lane on Radio National Mrs Bishop appeared to be influenced more by what she may have seen, heard or read from a conservative think tank than any direct knowledge of Muslim Australians living in her electorate.
		If Mrs Bishop were to use her substantial talents and experience (in both politics and the law) to take the industrial fight to the union movement, she would be doing the small business people in her electorate a huge service.

		I want to thank my ministerial colleague, Bronwyn Bishop, for the tremendous leadership that she’s giving as the portfolio Minister for Aged Care.
		It’s a new appointment and I think Bronwyn brings very special skills to that job and I think she will make an outstanding contribution through the year.
		Bronwyn has a few more things to say and a few other observations to make about some of the activities but I know that 1999 will be a great year in recognising the contribution of older Australians to our modern Australian community.

		Now, Bishop and her cronies, by calling for the hijab to be banned in schools, are assaulting freedom of religion.
		Bishop also attempted to justify her attack on the right of Muslim women to wear the hijab in terms of women’s freedom and independence.
