Toppled colonial statue replaced by 'ring of truth telling'

A native garden surrounded by a bronze "ring of truth-telling" has replaced a colonial statue of William Crowther in Hobart's Franklin Square. Vandals cut the statue down in 2024. The City of Hobart unveiled the new installation, which carries three written pieces about Crowther, William Lanne and statues. Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds said the project reveals a fuller history of the city. Some councillors and protesters opposed the replacement, and the original statue is in storage.

Local Elders and First Peoples led activities including Caring for Country, dance, weaving, music and Traditional Games. Students wrote poetry on truth-telling, which was combined into one spoken word piece. Travis Lovett presented each school with a Wurundjeri message stick and urged students to build safer, kinder schools. Gellung Warl representatives celebrated Victoria's Treaty with First Peoples.
