PoliticsVictorian government scraps controversial Daniel Andrews sculpture plan

Victoria’s government has halted plans for a $134,000 sculpture commemorating former Labor premier Daniel Andrews. Premier Ben Carroll also ended the policy automatically recognising long-serving premiers with statues and appointed an independent panel to review official memorials. The existing contract will be redirected to another subject and location.
