Good on ya!

SBS About time his life was immortalised. True legend

You know he was a brave and righteous man for taking the stand he did and supporting equality... but I don't think describing him as 'central' to the protest is appropriate. Or a statue with just him on the podium. I am open to arguments otherwise...

Do people realize it’s his gloves!!

Kudos Peter Norman for positive stance well before most whites left racism where it belongs; it belongs nowhere.

Aushiker Legend!

So sad that it has taken 50 years, and that it comes after Peter's death

And in another 50 it will be pulled for some stupid apologists reason

LatimorePaul Never to be picked to represent his country ever again. A travesty!

Inthe same time in Australia was still white immigrant policy only until 1973 . hypocrites

Peter Norman,a truly worthy recipient of a statue,led an exceptional life supporting social justice issues.

Peter Norman to get statue in MelbourneFifty years after playing a key role in one of the most iconic sporting moments of the 20th century, the late Australian sprinter and human rights advocate Peter Norman will be honoured with a statue in Melbourne. Well deserved and about bloody time! Harsh reality is that the white German American Trump's government looks like whites only Germany's rather than blacks & whites America since inception! I never got this protest. They were selected in the American Olympic team, that seems to be very equal. But still I am ok with the statue. I just hope we do not see protests to take it down. Statues seem to be an easy mark by far right & far left activists lately.
