## Resource

Bronze statue of AFL legend Nicky Winmar is set for removal after he was found guilty of assaulting a woman — a verdict that’s sparked a major political and cultural reckoning, with WA Premier Roger Cook calling for a firm message against violence toward women. The statue, erected in 2019 at Perth Stadium to honor Winmar’s iconic 1993 stand against racism, now faces removal as authorities weigh the consequences of his conviction on three counts of assault. The woman involved testified she feared for her life, while Winmar’s defense claimed self-defense. With a pre-sentence hearing still ahead, the statue’s fate remains in flux — but the Premier’s directive is clear: this moment demands accountability.
