Ms Dennison is writing to the Northern Midlands Council urging them to remove Millwood's name from a plaque in Campbell Town.
The statue even resembles one of the local councillors.
How absurd. The only resemblance that I can see is the double chins.

Looks like a statue of Hoyt Axton or Boss Hogg to me.

Support to remove statue of painter John Glover, although sculptor denies model was convicted paedophile
"Advocates for sexual assault victims have called for the removal of a bronze statue of a famed landscape artist said to bear a resemblance to a convicted paedophile.
Key points:
A sculptor says a photograph of paedophile John Millwood was given to him, but not used, in relation to the commission
A sexual abuse victim advocate says the statue looks like Millwood, and it should be taken down
Millwood's name is being removed from a plaque in Launceston
Tasmanian paedophile John Wayne Millwood helped found a society to commemorate 19th-century painter John Glover, and Millwood's photo was given to the sculptor when he was commissioned to do the bronze."
