The face-covering law includes items that aren’t the burqa, such as bandannas and mascot/fursuit heads. However, it wouldn’t surprise me if you’re correct in assuming it’s targeting a religious item, especially since the law doesn’t usually get enforced unless it’s a woman wearing a burqa.
It’s a fact that the law was originally introduced by the far right, and specifically banned the burqa. Then it was expanded to include other face coverings, with exceptions.

That doesn’t surprise me in the least bit. I will have to look further into this. Regardless, it’s a stupid law.
