In short:
Police are investigating a vandalism attack on 20 bronze statues of Australian prime ministers in Ballarat.
The heads from the busts of former Labor leaders Kevin Rudd and Paul Keating were severed and stolen.
What’s next?
The sculptor who created the busts says plaster moulds are available to recreate the statues.
Interesting, judging by who was taken, and the words, “the commonwealth will fall” sounds like maybe sov cits?
Definitely not. Invasion day is tomorrow, and the term “the colony/commonwealth will fall” is used by first nations activists. Recall back to last year when the Captain Cook statue was toppled in St. Kilda.
Maybe we hold of on accusing people until actual evidence comes out because it could not be them and could be someone else
Yeah, maybe if it was the words on its own, but also knocking off Rudds head? That doesn’t make much sense.
Prime ministers’ heads severed and stolen…
🤩
… from bronze statues in Ballarat
😒
I get it, I do. But this is only going to be used by Dutton and his ilk to further divide us at this upcoming election. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
