The City of Hobart's standing as a welcoming and inclusive city has been further advanced with the Hobart City Council's Planning Committee approving the removal of the William Crowther statue from Franklin Square. Once all conditions are met, the council-endorsed removal of the colonial statue would be the first of its kind in Australia. Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds said that several years ago the Tasmania's Aboriginal community asked that Council consider the removal of this statue as an act of reconciliation and to tell a more truthful history of how Aboriginal people were treated in colonial Hobart.
