ANV.22 12 2010 11 22 AM

The Australian High Court ruled today,in a land mark decision, that it would be “dishonest” “disrespectful “ and “deceptive” for the Australian Capital, Canberra, to display nativity scenes.

The full bench of the High Court agreed unanimously that the Capitals officials had failed in their search for three wise men and as such a significant part of the proposed nativity display would be missing.

Although the search for a virgin was continuing, the Court accepted the submissions of the prosecutors that it was highly unlikely that one could be found.
