Winmar statue to be removed from Optus Stadium
The Premier has directed VenuesWest to remove the statue of Nicky Winmar at Optus Stadium.
Winmar was this morning convicted of assaulting a woman in northern Victoria last year.
After questions from Business News, the state government released a statement a short time ago in which Premier Roger Cook said the statue would be removed.
"Violence against women is never acceptable, and it is important we send a strong message to the community," Mr Cook said.
Nadia Budihardjo reports on the lack of detail from the state government about a possible university merger.
