The police are investigating today how the beheaded head of a historical statue of King George V in Australia ended up on stage with anti-colonial Belfast Hip-Hop Trio Kneecap.

The crowd at the performance in Melbourne fascinated the royal family and then welcomed a band member: “He is the first royal at a kneecap and will be the last one.”

Kneecap, an Irish language group from West Belfast, also shared images of the head, which had been missing for nine months, with the caption: “Remember that any colony can fall.”

Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, who is wearing an Irish Tricolor Balaclava, are photographed alongside Cillian Murphy and Jeremy Corbyn, Rap in English and Gaelic and are known for expressing strong Irish Republican sentiments.

The Australian police are unable to detect the bronze head since the last June was split off, but it appeared on Friday evening at Kneecap's Melbourne performance.

Nobody has ever been arrested about criminal damage. A spokesperson said: 'Detectives of Melbourne Crime Investigation Unit continue to investigate a statue in Kings Domain last year. Researchers are also aware that the head of what a statue seems to have appeared during a concert in Melbourne on March 14 '.

Kneecap was previously accused of glorifying the IRA and on one poster Boris Johnson and Alene Foster showed a rocket on top of a burning bonfire for their farewell to the Union Tour in 2020.

Their newest stunt is 'predictable and tiring' branded by one politician in their native Noord -Ireland.

The head of King George V was cut off a statue in Melbourne by Vandals who devoted the attack to King Charles in June – just a few months before he would visit Australia with the queen.

The video of the statue posted on social media covered with the song of the sex gun God saves the queen while a vandal 'the colony will fall' at the foot of the statue.

The Melbourne city council estimated that it would cost around $ 10,000 to clean the statue and more to restore it.

It was amid a wave of anti-colonial vandalism in Australia.

The statue of the king's domain was beheaded and covered with red paint to coincide with the annual holiday to celebrate the birthday of the prince.

The Australian police could not detect the bronze head, but it was observed on Friday evening during the Melbourne version of Kneecap.

'Some came by with a huge head of King George, so that he could hear a few tunes for our last Melbourne -Show', read a social media post from the Noord -Iersse Outfit Kneecap.

His head was reportedly cut off in the city last year. Anyway, he was put on stage a few tunes and then beaten away. Remember that every colony can fall. '

Kneecap, consisting of Mo Chara, JJ O'Dochartaigh and Moglai Bap, are known for their unapologetic brand anti-colonial hip hop.

In November 2024, the trio won their business against Tory party leader Kemi Badenoch after blocking an art fair to the band that quoted anti-British politics.

The refusal of £ 14,250 in financing turned out to be 'illegal' and the New Labor government agreed to release the money and to pay the costs of Kneecap.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is accused of bending for a 'noisy minority' that aroused 'junk' and virtue about issues such as climate change and gender.

The recognized Republican is also accused of firing an anti-British sentiment and is also an important role to ensure that King Charles III does not appear on the new $ 5 memorandum after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Some have wondered whether corporates such as Qantas cooperating with 'recognition of the country' to show respect for the Aboriginal culture and heritage does more harm than good to native causes.

These are also known as 'Welcome to Country' announcements – recognition of the ancient history of Australia before the British arrived – and a promise that Australia 'was and will always be in Aboriginal land'.

The attacks on British images from the 19th century give one Insight into the increasing alarm of Australia – a country, at least the outside world, better known for their love for beer, beaches and cricket.

The critics of Albanese have said that Australia is in the midst of a cultural war and has become too fast to “beat up ourselves” and to apologize for the past and to ignore the benefits that came from a colony.

Former Prime Minister John Howard, who led the country from 1996 to 2007, said last year: “I do have the happiest that this country happened, was colonized by the British.”

The statue in Melbourne of the British naval officer James Cook, who mapped the coast of Sydney in 1770, was sawn off in the ankles, while a monument of Queen Victoria in the Queen Victoria Gardens of the city in red paint.

It happened on the eve of Australia Day, which was held every year on January 26 on the occasion of the birthday of the British settlement in 1788.

The Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins and cessed former skipper Steve Smith recently claimed that January 26 is not a suitable date to celebrate the national holiday, with the date a very controversial problem due to the landing of the first fleet from Great -Britain in Australia.

The righteous of vandalism Aboriginal politician Uncle Shane Charles today insisted that Australia Day should be called 'Invasi Day' and 'Captain Cook is the founder of genocide in this country'.

Attacks on images related to Great Britain have become more often with Captain Cook and other British historical figures have attacked a number of times in recent decade.

Images of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II have been overthrown in Canada because of the colonial past.

A recent poll showed that almost half of the Australians believe that the nation is more divided than ever about important issues such as climate change, immigration and foreign policy, including how to deal with the threat of China.

Many blame the current Labor Prime Minister of Australia.

Last year, after discussions with the Albanian government, the Central Bank of Australia announced that her new $ 5 invoice would not contain an image of King Charles III after the death of the queen.

Anti-royalists greeted it as a step in the direction of a republic.
