I initially thought this might be a sneaky way to provide cover for a decision motivated by Christianity, but the mayor is Muslim. Still, this is a decision motivated by religious belief, not law. I don’t know if Australia has separation of church and state, so I have no idea how defensible this is.

Feels like a fun response to this would be a contest for art depicting the mayor.

Philjames said he was “absolutely happy to put safety” but
But where was he happy to put it?
ARH needs to pay a bit more attention to his drafts before publishing them.
Nonsense, god (therefore jesus) is everywhere, therefore even in Pluto/Goofy.

Is that actually supposed to be Goofy? If so the facial structure, teeth and nose color are all wrong.
Seems like no one has respect for character model sheets anymore.

What’s next? Will the Loony Tunes characters be excluded from exhibitions at Natural History museums as well?
