The statue is JH and first appeared at Old Parliament House in 2004.

It has done the rounds at a number of local shopping malls, and I guess is going further a field to see what mischief can be made. Some have found it funny, others offensive (some people have threatened in the past to vandalize it if it wasn't removed) and most couldn't care less. Gets a run every now and then in local newspapers where ever it appears - bit like a garden gnome - only nobody wants to steal this one - too heavy I suppose.
