Melbourne's King George V statue beheaded, covered in red paint on King's Birthday public holiday.
A statue of King George V in Melbourne's Kings Domain has been beheaded and covered in red paint, the latest attack on colonial monuments in Victoria. The incident occurred on the King's Birthday public holiday, when most Australian states observed King Charles III's birthday. Other statues in Melbourne have been targeted by vandals this year, including those of Captain James Cook and Queen Victoria.
