**In short:**
The row over a Tasmanian school's alleged "cancelling" of Christmas has deepened, with government ministers doubling down with AI-generated images and other posts on social media.
The furore started after Tasmania's premier said on social media he had instructed an unnamed school to reinstate Christmas events.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff said: "We expect our schools to acknowledge and celebrate Christmas."
