Two Adelaide statues, one celebrating the city’s Anglo-Malaysian town planner the other commemorating the first Australian war effort featuring Aboriginal soldiers, have been vandalised by Black Lives Matter supporters in an act the SA Premier Steven Marshall has blasted as “mindless”.
In two separate incidents on Wednesday and Thursday, the statue of town planner Colonel William Light pointing over the city of Adelaide from Montefiore Hill was daubed with the words “No pride in genocide” and “Death to Australia”.
Light was a Malaysian-born surveyor and town planner who designed the city of Adelaide when the colony was incepted in 1836. He was of mixed ancestry with Malay and Thai heritage from his mother’s side and envisaged a democratic and liveable city with wide streets and ringed by parklands in which everyone could share.
The second memorial, on North Terrace, features of a horseman and commemorates the 1899-1902 Boer War in South Africa, the first conflict in which indigenous soldiers served alongside their Anglo-Saxon counterparts.
That memorial was sprayed with daubed with red paint with the words reading “No justice on stolen land”.

It demands welfare in return.
