Shadow treasurer Tim Wilson says there is “serious risk” the installation of a statue honouring former Victorian premier Dan Andrews would become “a public urinal”.
Mr Wilson on Friday joined mounting public outrage concerning the proposal, with a new poll this week revealing most Victorians, including Labor voters, want it scrapped.
“The first minor public project that should be cut should be Dan Andrews’ statue because that does not sit on any hierarchy of a single Victorian and their priorities,” Mr Wilson said on the Today show.
The state’s first minor public project that should be cut should be Dan Andrews’ statue because that does not sit on a hierarchy of a single Victorian and their priorities.”
Victorian premiers who serve more than 3000 days in office are recognised with a statue, according to a policy introduced by the Kennett government.
