Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
To the Jonesy demand of arms for the pub test.
Is it okay to be outraged over the p and
O cleaner's fancy dress costumes for their National Games Day?

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Well, they were having their Christmas party and they dressed,
as they said, was upside down snow cones. It looked
like they were fully dressed as the KKK.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, on outrage, am this was said.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
I actually, come on, no one can seriously think that
was their intention. Our housekeeping crew were dressed as snow cones.
Our crew are from different cultures all.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Over the world.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
They're young, and they had.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Just never heard of that organization. All what their outfits
could symbolize.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I don't blame the young cleaners who are from different cultures,
but of surrounding them was a whole group of officials
or people who work on p and O who should
know better. They said they'd been promoting this tug of
war as part of the Christmas party and the ship's newsletter.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
They still like to find out who they were versed.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
I think they were going to be versing themselves halves
and halves, it says here, but they were The passengers
were encouraged to watch. So this was a sanctioned thing
where members of staff would have seen how they look.
Not a single person can look at that and say
it doesn't look like AKK. So why did anyone say, hey, guys,
you may not be aware, but this is not a pack.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
You made a good point before. I don't think anyone
should lose their job over this. Als. I believe it's
an honest mistake. But with the eyes of the world
upon you now.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
With everything you do, we have to be so much
more care.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
There's got to be a thing where you say, hey, guys,
possibly not a good and we.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Cannot put up with this stuff. And I'm sick of
being told stop them being woke, stop being at Karen,
this stuff matters. We've got anti Semitic attacks all over
Sydney at the moment. You cannot just say it doesn't matter.
You can never draw a line in the sand and
say that was the old days. I think we do
need to be strong about this stuff. So being outraged
over the piano cleaners does it pass the pub test.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
I'm totally outraged by it.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's just another thing of p and os stuffing up.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
In today's society.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
We shouldn't have to see this sort of thing. The
Internet says everything and educates us, So no, it's wrong.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
I did think it looked a sensies and someone should
have stopped it before it that far. The person the
spokesman said they were dressed as snow cone like how
they were nothing like the snow cone. And also they
said that they were too young to know that that
was like the glue Clark's plan. And that's a load

(02:33):
of crap because every kid at school would have had
some information on it.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
I am absolutely outraged. So yes, to me a part
of the pop Test. If by chance this was to
happen on any other city on land, there'd be an
absolute uproar and the people would have been charged and
possibly even put in jail. So to me be pasts
of the pop Test, I think yes, I'm outraged by
so much.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
What about them?

Speaker 4 (02:59):
No Australian flags up for Australia Day.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
And that's not true.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
You're stopping you put a flag up.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
You're allowed to put your flag up.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
You do whatever you like.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
It is Australia and no one has said that you
can't fly the national flag on Australia Day. Let's just
make that clear,
