Have you ever given any thought as to why some people are commemorated with a public bronze statue... and not others?
In Victoria, plans are underway to memorialise former Premier Daniel Andrews with a bronze statue. Of course not everyone is a fan of the plan... even though premiers who serve more than 3000 days in office get a statue under law.
Meanwhile, there's also a push to immortalise one of Melbourne's former local pollies, Darebin councillor Gaetano Greco. He passed away in April and his advocates say a permanent monument of him wearing his signature black beret would be wonderful.
So who - if anyone, really - should get a statue in contemporary Australia?
