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.

    I’m not accusing anyone, I’m in favour of both this and last year’s actions in support of ending Invasion Day. If anyone thinks that some statue’s being desecrated as a form of protest is too far, they’re part of the bloody problem. We’re so uncomfortable being inconvenienced in any way, shape or form in this country.
