"Go elsewhere for sharia law: Australian treasurer
From Australia's News.com.au:

ANYONE who believes Islamic sharia law can co-exist with Australian law should move to a country where they feel more comfortable, Treasurer Peter Costello said today.

All Australian citizens must adhere to the framework in society which maintains tolerance and protects the rights and liberties of all, he said. It is a pre-condition for citizenship of Australia.

Mr Costello was giving a speech on the meaning of Australian citizenship to the Sydney Institute.

'There is one law we are all expected to abide by,' Mr Costello said.

'It is the law enacted by the Parliament under the Australian Constitution.

'If you can't accept that, then you don't accept the fundamentals of what Australia is and what it stands for.'"
