Speaker 2: Chess? If you're playing chess in the park.

19
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,800

Speaker 1: your But this is bigger than a home.

24
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: Onse. So my friend Maltese, they've got a Nativity scene,

25
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: but they've got water bottle size three, wise Man, Jesus,

26
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: Ox and ass and all that sort of stuff. But

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: then the little baby Jesus, someone stole it. She's gone

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 2: and board another one. But it's too big.

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: She's mixed up the set.

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: It's like too And I said, the little baby Jesus,

31
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: Mary would have died.

32
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: Was it was a miracle?

33
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: Well it was true, true, Yeah, he could.

34
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Have given birth to on the size of a piglet.

35
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: I just think proportionally, you've got you've got to stick

36
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: with the same set.

37
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: And also, you know, when I was a kid, the

38
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: Nativity scene it was a white vest It looked like

39
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: the Doobie Brothers. Yeah, it was. In fact, they've got

40
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: a black guy in there.

41
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: Well, but if you look at the recent incarnation of

42
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: what they think Jesus looked like. I saw one recently,

43
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: the image of him with this long romantic hair and

44
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: the beard, and he looks more like Tony Mockbell. Remember

45
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: the Victorian crew who wore a wig and tried to

46
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: disguise himself.

47
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: That's what That's what Jesus looked like. It's Middle Eastern

48
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: Anglicized Jesus.

49
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: Well, you don't get to choose, why not. That's what

50
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: this whole dispute's about. Moving the Nativity scene. So where

51
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: have they? Theroyed it destroyed aggressive, I set fire to it.

52
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: There's hay in the manger. Be careful man, was this

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: was ten years last night.

54
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: Away with the manger. No crib for year's end, the

55
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 3: little Lord Jesus left without a bed.

56
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: It's unacceptable. It's un Australian.

57
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: Mossman Council deciding not to display its famous Nativity scene

58
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: donated by former mayor Don Lopez fourteen years ago, and

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: it won't hold the Blessing of the Crib performance by

60
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 3: local school children in council's Seniors center during the Christmas markets.

61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 3: The mayor says it's all about inclusiveness as the community

62
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: is not all ye faithful Well.

63
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: Counsel is a secular organization. It's actually not a place

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: that religion is on the agenda for us.

65
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: That's despite other councils holding events to mark Luna, New Year,

66
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: di Wali or eight. We should not be.

67
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: Shay from expressing our religion, our thief, whether it's Christian

68
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: or other fads.

69
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: Is the council now going to ban the carols at

70
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 3: Bao Moral because they're going to sing Christian songs?

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: They might do a backflip you reckon amen, and a

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: lot of dads would be praising the Lord that that

73
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: little concert's been canceled. Well, at Christmas time, it's the

74
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: end of the year.

75
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: And if you've got love, how you think mums like

76
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: that stuff?

00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: No one likes it. Here's the news flash. No one

78
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: likes those concerts. They go too long. Cut them down

79
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: to ten minutes.

80
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: Well, they are saying they're still going to have their

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: Christmas trees and banners and they're going to have the

82
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: Nativity scene down at the carrols. So just taken it

83
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: out of council chambers.

84
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: But I like seeing the Nativity.

85
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Do you set one up at home?

Speaker 2: But it was tiny.

92
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,359

Speaker 1: the ascension? It be taken up into heaven.

94
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,760

99
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,560
