Sky News host Liz Storer says some “angry youths” are considering themselves the “heroes” after they took down a Captain Cook statue in Melbourne.
The incident was filmed and posted on Instagram.
“The bottom line is it’s not got to do with any rich cultural heritage type thing – they’ve not read any books about it,” Ms Storer said.
“It is simply angry young youths who have been fed this Marxist trope coming out of school, coming out of university – ‘we’re the bad guys’.
“So naturally they’re made not to be proud of Australia and they consider themselves the heroes.”

Bring back the stocks, oh no, we can’t do that is not politically correct, darn!!!!!!
'Ignorant youth's'. There, fixed it for you.
Captain cook had nothing to do with colonization, just goes to show how corrupt the teachers are in our schools, there breading terrorists for the left wing cronies.
Take down statues?
Take away welfare!
its not Australians doing this, its the imports that the tyrannic labor govt is green lighting.
Who is captain Cooks by the way?
They should be jailed for a few months destroying our history.
Every Country has had some kind of foreign influence/invasion
Some of these losers should do some research before knocking down the greatest navigator in all of history.
Compared to his colonial contemporary’s he was a milder English Man in comparison.
Do some reading you drop kicks or can’t you read or understand anything except what bullshit you’ve been told by completely uneducated twats.
James Cook was by all intents and purpose a modern person by the standards of the 18th century and tried so hard to avoid any tension with all peoples they met on their voyage’s of exploration.
He certainly was no Hernando Cortez or Francisco Pizarro.
These individuals who have desecrated Cooks statue should be charged with destruction of historical property like as if they have destroyed a statue of Marbo,William Barak or king Wonga.
Validates retaliatory damage of aboriginal heritage. Be careful of the consequences.
The cowardice of these people is atrocious, these statues cost the tax payer not the council, so in fact they are not only vandalising they are stealing
Buy me a GR yaris sky news and i mite do something about it. Until then let the blacks run the country. They party harder than you flops anyway
Cook was the worlds most brilliant hydrographic surveyor. I am a hydro surveyor in NZ – there are parts of NZ that his surveys still are as accurate as modern surveys. There is a hydrographic industry in NZ – its roots from Cook. Its essential that such surveys are carried out for safe moorings and landings from marine vessels. And by the way if it was not Cook that claimed NZ for England then the French were 2 weeks behind him! I also laugh at people who whine about Colonialism yet use services like modern medicene, modern transport, have longer lives etc……. that came from the 'West'
Well ,nothing was done about the other one.This is criminal activity.Why was no one charged.
Considering the rise in this type of mindless, stupid vandalism, the authorities should now realise that this will occur with increasing frequency. That being the case, why are these statues and other historical monuments now under constant video security.
?
Idiots.
So they used a Aboriginal angle grinder eh . Aborigines are dumb ignore them . Any statue they make us put up as they can not make statues , I will tear down .
Im ashamed of how many dickheads we have in this once great country😅
Just another bunch of children brained adults who have no idea , and gees they wouidnt be alive if it were not for cook
Imagine if they did this to a founder of someone important outside of western society, say the founder of a particular religion?.
if we could go back in time and tell cook not to land here, thus these kids wouldnt be around
Leftist morons, doing what ignorant morons do.
I always ponder what would've happened if the Vikings or Romans had got here first. 😂😂
This is exactly what muslims and woke people ( actually sleeping ) do. Destroying history, so you forget who you really are. It's a common method of complete brainwashing. Welcome to 1984.
Very easy to be critical 253 years after the fact. 3 or more years aboard ship, completely self sufficient, looked after the health of his crew, was generally well regarded by the various peoples he made contact with, an incredible navigator. No GPS in those days.
His knowledge of the natural world was incredible. No fancy survival equipment. His contribution to the sciences is excellent.
Shame cutting the statue down will probably be those losers only contribution to society. The society they no doubt take full advantage of. Do some reading. educate yourselves before chopping these people down.
They're just copying what's happened in the US.
Socialism is just a patient communist – we are living history right now
Why BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT TAUGHT HISTORY IN OUR INSTITUTIONS ANYMORE
It’ll be because Cook never said anything positive about trans kids.
I blame M.S.M.for alot of this. They are so anti traditionally biased about historical events.
I see a very sad future for this once great nation.
Whatever they are, they sure have no right to call themselves Aussie.
27 February, 2025? How did we get to the future by a year? You're making me feel old.
It is a Racist Attack against Australia, just like "Welcome to (F**K-OFF MY) Country" and "Acknowledgement of Traditional Ownership" (Always was & will be — "You can leave NOW!"). Time to shut this CRAP down, including the flag! I don't want to fund being racially abused or vilified for being a white Australian flying the Australian flag.
Ignorant little brats. Cook was a SCIENTIST AND EXPLORER, who helped measure the distance between earth and the sun. These kids probably couldn't measure their own skull volume.
I bet it could work but the cops won’t try
So why haven't the cops got them
For woolies in a day
They can trace the ip that sent it
They catch others forosting
So not true you cant be found by posting
Victoria keeps moving forward
To the blue states in USA California NY Chicago ect
Same laws soon they be complaining
Because all the food stores and others leave through theft
No law inforcement already got home invasion
So people in Victoria look up these usa states
Then see if it matches whats happening their
Only you'll know living their as we only get what media shows or not
They should be arrested & charged
Is there any Western country that isn't going mad with this woke culture nonsense? All become sheep following America
Cook and his crew were stranded in northern Queensland. They were helped by the Indigenous people of the area to get his ship back into the water to complete his journey back to England. If he hadn't got the Endeavour repaired and back into the sea, then we'd probably be colonised by someone else less benign than the British – the Belgians and french were far worse. Cook, by the way, was a working class farm boy made good. He was self educated and is considered the greatest cartographer and navigator in history. His mapping skills helped the British conquer Canada. He tried to avoid conflict with natives. That's why he was killed. He tried to make peace with the natives who had stolen a boat. The education departments haven't allowed real history to be taught in decades and we are seeing the fruit of Marxist indoctrination.
If it was not for Cook all those uneducated morons would not even be here.
They Should have Camera's There.
Just showing what ignorant fools they are!
It seems that leftism and delayed cognition are synonymous. It's been 123 years since Victoria became a state, 82 years since the Statute of Westminster 1942 was passed by British Parliament, and 38 years since the Australia Act 1986 was passed by Australian Parliament, and these poor retards still do not know. Give them another 100 years, I'm sure they'll finally get it in the 22nd century come 2124 A.D.
Uneducated Angry Teens lol
