In Nipaluna/Hobart the colonial statue of William Crowther, who stole the skull of the Aboriginal man William Lane in 1869, has been sawn off at the ankles and toppled. This video was posted anonymously with the following statement:
"On the lands where one of the truest and most brutal attempted genocides was committed against the Tasmanian aboriginal people, it is unfathomable that the colony would continue to celebrate racist butchers like Crowther whilst continuing to sweep it's ongoing colonisation under the rug. We can't erase history, but we can tear down the horrible colonialists who have disgraced it until we wake up to the reality of colonisation on this continent."
