Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says he worries that burqas are used to oppress women but he will not pursue a ban of full-face veils.
His remarks come despite a poll suggesting more than half of Australians would support the move.
Mr Turnbull has joined senior MPs from all sides in cautioning against One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's push to ban the burqa.
