Debate in Wellington over the Council's proposal to allow broadcasting of religious calls over mosque loud-speakers.
Local Mosques reportedly asked the council to change noise control regulations, so they can play calls to prayer over outdoor speakers, as is done in Muslim countries.
Some have taken issue with the proposal.
Councillor Nicola Young says such issues aren't what they need to think about.
"The City Council should stick to its municipal role. It's got big issues, like water and sewage infrastructure- why are we not focusing on that, instead of having these distractions?"
