Opposition to the Victorian government’s decision to honour former Premier Daniel Andrews with a bronze statue has now turned into a full-fledged campaign.

The campaign, started by Jackson Moon, whose X profile describes him as a political student, has already garnered support from over 6,500 Victorians. The movement demands the immediate cancellation of the planned statue, citing a “waste of taxpayers’ money” as one of the main reasons.
