The landmark sculpture in St Kilda was sliced off at the ankles overnight by vandals, who targeted the statue on the eve of Australia Day.
The metal sculpture on Jacka Boulevard in St Kilda was sawn off at the ankles about 3.30am Thursday, with vandals also spray-painting “the colony will fall” on the statue’s granite plinth.

I wonder what they imagine "the colony falling" to be like. How would that be rolled out, what exactly does that even mean anymore? Seems more performative than an actual attempt to change something.
