‘A new low’: Steve Price condemns vandalism of Captain Cook statue ahead of Australia Day
Sky News host Steve Price has condemned the “new low” in the war against Australia Day after Captain James Cook’s statue in Melbourne was cut off its stone base.
"Using an angle grinder ,the bronze statue of Cook was destroyed, cut at the ankles, leaving just Cook's statue's feet or boots," Mr Price said.
"Vandalism – no, worse – a statement that these people are prepared to commit criminal damage to further their crazy march to an anti-Australian movement.
"What I want to know is why, even though police were contacted while this criminal act was underway, that police the couldn't get there even though this disgraceful act would have taken at least 15 minutes to commit.
"The St Kilda police station is three kilometers away. Under lights and siren at worst, it'd be an eight to ten minute drive, probably quicker – why didn't police respond more quickly?"
