Victoria’s new premier cancels plans to commission a bronze statue of former premier Dan Andrews, according to reports. The project, described as costing about $134,000, is reported to have been halted after the new leader raised objections.
Both outlets say the decision is a reversal of earlier plans to “immortalise” Andrews in bronze. They frame the move as the incoming premier putting a stop to the statue proposal, without detailing the specific reasons or whether any alternative commemorations are being considered.
The two reports closely match on the core facts: a statue of Dan Andrews was proposed, the estimated cost is $134,000, and the plans are withdrawn under the direction of Victoria’s current premier. Differences are limited to how each outlet introduces the story, with no additional confirmed details provided beyond the cancellation and its cost estimate.
