The metal sculpture on Jacka Boulevard in St Kilda was sawn off at the ankles about 3.30am Thursday, with vandals also spray-painting “the colony will fall” on the statue’s granite plinth.

I'm honestly surprised it lasted this long / hasn't been vandalised before.

It's been vandalised before. There's a gallery in the article with pictures from two prior incidents where it's been hit with paint.
