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’m honestly surprised it lasted this long / hasn’t been vandalised before.

      It’s been vandalised before. There’s a gallery in the article with pictures from two prior incidents where it’s been hit with paint.
