Sydney, Australia. 26 August 2017. Statues of Captain Cook, Governor Macquarie, and Queen Victoria around the Hyde Park area have been vandalised. The attack comes after a TV personality suggested that the wording should be changed and following suggestions by some that Australia Day should not be commemorated on the day that the British discovered Australia as it is insensitive to Aboriginal people who were already there.
