Dorrigo Anzac war memorial vandalised by drunken people and motorists
"The stone soldier has been through the wars of multiple vandalism attacks and a car crash."
"The rifle was damaged when a 28-year-old man climbed the war memorial, breaking off the rifle barrel, which a 24-year-old woman then put in her underwear, making lewd movements during a drinking session at the nearby hotel. Both fined by the court, the man was also ordered to pay $25,000 towards repairs."
"Since the vandalism last year, the Minns Labor government has introduced tougher penalties for intentional or reckless damage of war memorials, which can now lead to up to seven years in prison." >>
