Here's a few more quotations from another article...

Conservative MP Fred Nile prepared a bill to ban topless bathing.  “Our beaches should be a place where no one is offended, whether it’s their religious or cultural views,” he said. “If they’ve come from a Middle Eastern or Asian country where women never go topless - in fact they usually wear a lot of clothing - I think it’s important to respect all the different cultures that make up Australia.” 

The practice was at risk of raising the ire of Muslim men in particular, Mr Nile said.

... the ire of Muslim men. Hmmm... Interesting euphemism!

Repeating a sentence by Mr Nile...

I think it’s important to respect all the different cultures that make up Australia.

One culture, the dominant culture, has a long standing tradition of topless sunbathing.

One culture, the immigrant culture, says verboten to topless sunbathing!

Pooch Dog wants to know how this law respects "all the different cultures"?
