1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: This is jam nation with.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: The Jonesy Demander arms the pub test. Today Mossman Council

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 2: banning the Nativity Scene from being displayed in its chambers.

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: Does it pass the pub test? This is what the

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: council had to say, Well.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 3: Council is a secular organization. It's actually not a place

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 3: that religion is on the agenda for us.

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 4: The Council has said that the Nativity scene will still

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 4: be available for people to see and for the blessing

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 4: of the Nativity scene, which little kids do at a

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 4: community events like the Carols by candlelight, et cetera, et cetera,

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 4: where they'll be displaying or the usual Christmas thing. They

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 4: just didn't want to have this in their council chambers.

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: I just had this flashback to Nativity scenes. I just

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 2: like looking at them. I like models and stuff like that.

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 4: You like a diorama.

17
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: I love a diorama, but it just paints a little,

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: nice little picture, you know. Then you go and see it.

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: And we had a little Nativity scene when we were kids.

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: It was like it wasn't big.

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 4: It was boud as big as a life of breath

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 4: and you just bring it out at Christmas.

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Mum put it out on the junk pile.

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: So I grabbed that as that's at my home, so

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: I don't know where it's somewhere in my garage, but

26
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: it's great, but it does nice flashback.

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 4: I'm not a religious person, but I do feel that

28
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 4: sometimes we do accommodate so many other cultures as we

29
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: like to do here in Australia, that it's easy to

30
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 4: let out the traditions that we grew up with, which

31
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 4: might be Dickie, might be whatever. Because some people see

32
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 4: this in a religious sense, some people sit in a

33
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 4: cultural sense. It's part of Christmas and we feel that

34
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 4: these things are being taken away. So how do you

35
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: feel most of my council banning the Nativity scene from

36
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 4: being displayed in its chambers. Does it passed the pub test?

37
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 5: No, it definitely does not pass the pub test. You know,

38
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 5: we're an the clusive country and we're always making changes

39
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 5: for people and commodating them. This is just another thing

40
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 5: that we seem to be losing over.

41
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: These I'm completely aging Amanda when they say, you know,

42
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: we're kind of including all the other religions, but then

43
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: we're going to just washing out to Christianity. I just

44
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: think it's ridiculous because there is no on their gender,

45
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: but they don't mind taking the day off to celebrated.

46
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 6: I thought people come to this country because we're loving

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 6: and fun and jovial and blurry cans that. No, you

48
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 6: can't be any of that anymore because you know you

49
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 6: might not include everybody.

50
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: No, I think it's completely wrong. The Christmas is a

51
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: religious holiday in the first place, it breaks up the

52
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: Christ's math. And if they want to be inclusive, then

53
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: why they're excluding this.

54
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 7: No, it doesn't I work in a state government department

55
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 7: and we have four different religions and we all celebrate

56
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 7: them together. If you take out one religion, it just

57
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 7: creates ig notes and it's disharmony. And that's where there's

58
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 7: problems where people don't understand other religions.

59
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: Lord knows, we don't need any more disharmony in this world.

60
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: It's pretty conclusive then,
