Seasons Greetings from Dandenong Council

Dear friends,Seasons Greetings from Dandenong CouncilSeasons Greetings Card from Dandenong Council

You may click on the photos to view the card that is going out from the Dandenong Council this Christmas.

We received this ‘Season’s Greetings’ card (not ‘Merry Christmas’) from someone within the Dandenong Council.

Please notice that this card does not have ‘CHRISTMAS’ written anywhere on it.

It was produced this Christmas and states ‘Happy festive season’ from the Mayor and the Councillors.

Please keep speaking out for ‘Merry Christmas’ to be restored in Dandenong and across all of Australia despite of all political correctness, multiculturalism and interfaith.

    Dear Mr. Daniel Nalliah,

    Thank you for your lovely correspondence encouraging us to put Christ back into Christmas.I definitely agree with every word you have stated in your media release on 21 Nov 2013 titled “Is the Muslim Mayor the cause of the death of Christmas greetings in Dandenong city?” and I too fell that political correctness has gone mad with protecting the rights of our multicultural society.

    You have rightly asked “where do we Western nations draw the line”. What i believe has been happening is that we have been so busy respecting and acknowledging other cultures that WE HAVE FORGOTTEN TO DO THE SAME FOR OUR OWN CULTURE.

    In all this multiculturalism and creating harmony amongst the Eastern and Muslim Worlds we have overshadowed our own religion, culture and do not take it an offense to continue doing so.

    I think we need to urgently start projecting activities from now until Christmas as its rightly the advent season- preparing for the coming of Jesus Christ. I would like to share one such activity i came across on facebook.

    Your good office could promote such projects in the form of “Christmas Caroling at the Malls in all our suburbs”.

    All we need to do is to get the local singing groups together, plan a date, seek permisiion from the malls and go ahead with it.
    Im sure this will help us to bring Christ back into Christmas and help heal a lot of our inner hurt.

    Wishing you and all at your office a very merry Christmas and a happy new year in advance.

    Kind Regards

    Aloysious
    Manager

    The obligations undertaken by people who put up their hand to be leaders seem to be undergoing some form of metamorphosis.

    It was generally a community expectation that leaders at all levels of government would actually work to better the lives of the people they were entrusted to represent, protect and ensure that the most positive outcomes would be achieved in their efforts for those same people who had so empowered them.

    I hardly believe that taking Christmas out of Christmas is serving that role and responsibility and many many people in positions of power are showing their true colours and cowardice in betraying the predominantly Christian people and culture of Australia.

    Christians have a right too. We have a right to express ourselves and celebrate Christmas by sending fellow Christians cards, letters, messages etc. to say Merry Christmas. No one person or entity has permission, legally or morally, to alter the context of our message. If some are offended by our message then there is no reason for them to participate in our message. Don’t send anything if it makes you feel better but do not use political correctness to deface our message by omitting the essence of our message that is; MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    I am amazed at the Dandenong City Council. If he is Muslim and he stays in Australia, he should do what the Australians do, not what he does. If he does not like it, he should go back to his own country. This is a Christian country, not a Muslim country. They like to live in Australia, but then do not bring your culture here. I am against it and would like to bring this to the attention of the Dandenong Council. Hyacinth

    The current issue of The City reinforces what many people believe, and that is that Councillors are irrelevant and local government should be run by administrators. Apart from the contact list of Councillors on page 4, the obligatory Mayor’s Message on page 2, and a pleasant piece on the Mayor ( a captain without a team?), there is not one photo, not one, of any Councillor doing anything, not one story of anything a Councillor may have been involved in, in fact apart from the Mayor and the councillor contact list, not one, NOT ONE, Councillor is mentioned by name anywhere in the 24 pages of The City. Local papers are dying a slow death and little coverage is given to Council, but that may not matter because the circulation of both the local papers has plummeted (as Councillors we have even stopped getting copies of the Journal). However, if the local press is not getting the message across of what the elected members are doing and we abysmally fail to make known in our own publication what we do, then we only have ourselves to blame for the community perception that we do nothing. Compare Glen Eira’s paper, and Kingston “Your City” and you will see we are running a distant last in communicating what we do. Not even a photo of all Councillors taken at the Mayoral induction wishing the residents a Merry Christmas in the City, just a note at the bottom of page 6 under Season’s Greetings(welcome to Summer?) wishing all residents a safe and fun-filled festive season(is this festive season the Boxing Day cricket?). No picture of Father Christmas, no picture of a Christmas tree, not even any representation of what Christmas is about. Lord help us.
