Take a stand on racism or send a message against violence: what should happen to the Nicky Winmar statue?
By Douglas Smith

Some say the WA government was right to remove the sculpture after the AFL great was convicted of assault. But others say it had a bigger meaning

Post Office Square, 300 Queen St Brisbane CBD, 5 January 2024 starts at 3:40pm with a #smokingceremony followed by #frontierwars spokesperson, government representatives and #yidaki player; ending at 5:00pm. Kanat Wano to MC
The message on the day will be about re-naming King George Square to Dundalli Place on Dundalli day 5 January 2025 which is the 170th anniversary of his death.

A Dundalli statue to coincide with Dundalli Day 5 January is apt.

Killing for Country

" ‘I can’t argue away the shame’: frontier violence and family history converge in David Marr’s harrowing and important new book"

"A monumental study of the on-the-ground nature of colonisation in New South Wales and Queensland... His forebears’ role in murdering scores of First Peoples during the land grabs that preceded the creation of Australia."

"At the core of this narrative is a simple truism of colonialism: land is the ultimate commodity, the raw material."
