‘Terrorism’: Vandals desecrate Captain Cook and Queen Victoria statues on eve of Australia Day

Sky News host Liz Storer has branded the defacing of two statues in Melbourne as “terrorism”. Vandals have defaced two statues in Melbourne on the eve of Australia Day – hacking down a statue of Captain Cook in St Kilda and spray painting a Queen Victoria statue near the Botanical Gardens. “This is terrorism,” Ms Storer said. “I don’t care how anyone paints it; this is like in-house terrorism, plain and simple. “These guys make their agenda known – they’re just going to keep destroying stuff until – until what?”
