Original Note:
There is no evidence to suggest the involvement of Pro-Palestine activists in these instances. Australia Day is a widely criticised national holiday as it commemorates the mistreatment and marginalization of Indigenous people. Protests and vandalism occur annually. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/26/1151620221/thousands-rally-for-invasion-day-protests-on-australia-day-holiday https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/crime/captain-cook-memorial-cut-down-ahead-of-australia-day-public-holiday/news-story/60db0f61db2c5767f1c2f84d8e2629bf https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-25/melbourne-captain-cook-queen-victoria-statues-vandalised/103386996
