A statue commemorating the man who chose the site of South Australia’s capital has been vandalised and tagged with the words “Death to Australia”.

The words “No pride in genocide” were also written on the base of the Colonel William Light monument, on Montefiore Hill which overlooks Adelaide’s CBD.
