Bob Katter has accused Qantas of being anti-Christian after claiming the national air carrier snubbed traditional Christmas carols inside of one of its prestigious business class lounges.

In a written complaint against the airline, the independent MP said he was angered to hear no holiday music with faith-based messages while sitting in a Qantas Club during a flight delay.

'I noticed that throughout the two hours I was there, they were playing 'Xmas' music,' Mr Katter said.

'Two hours of the most un-Christmassy music I've ever heard.

These days everyone’s got a grievance so what the heck. But Quantas plays the same music as McDonalds. If they played Satanic Death Metal Rock then maybe he would have a point.

They don’t count unless they’re singing about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in my opinion.

Well of course not DUMMY! Christ instituted the Last Supper the night before the beginning of Passover, not Christmas!

When I went to our local Marine Corps Band “Holiday” performance I noticed the same thing. Every song was a pop culture choice. Traditional songs and any that would mention the birth of Christ carefully avoided.
