The 25-metre statue has been a fixture on the corner of Queen St and Victoria St during the festive season since 1998. In his prime in 1960, he was perched outside the Farmers store on Hobson St, inviting customers inside with a beckoning finger and a friendly wink. But Mr Swny said many people were not so keen on the Queen St Santa, because of his "seedy actions".
"We liked him, but people were saying that the finger ... and the winking eye was a bit seedy."

That's right the PC bridage are concerned about Santa's wink and beckoning finger.
What are they worried about?
That kids might follow the waggling finger and buy a book from the Whitcoulls store he is mounted on?
