Statement by Mrs Bev McArthur in the Victorian Parliament on the vandalism to the Queen Victoria Statue

I was disgusted to hear about the toppling of the Queen Victoria statue in Geelong and call for it to be re-erected, and for statues of historical significance to be protected. Mature people respect differing opinions - they don’t tear down statues or graffiti pieces of art. Harsher penalties may well be required to protect historical monuments from attacks by vandals.
