The Hobart City Council in Australia’s island state of Tasmania is proposing the statue of its first premier, William Crowther, in the city’s Franklin Square be removed—a move estimated to cost the council tens of thousands of dollars.

Crowther was a surgeon, naturalist, and the first medical practitioner to serve as Tasmania’s state leader.
