A 19-year-old Mount Gambier woman has appeared in court for the first time accused of damaging the city's controversial Cast in Blue sculpture by sticking googly eyes on it

Art in the eye of the beholder ? I'd say she improved it :)

The Cast in Blue sculpture received some public backlash over its appearance and because it cost the City of Mount Gambier $136,000 at the same time as rates increased by 10 per cent in 2024 and by 8 per cent in 2025.

Well, I assume if that's the case, those whom approved it will be punished come election time.
