He should get one whether he likes it or not. Jeff Kennett passed a law requiring a statue to be erected to commemorate the legacy of Premiers who hold the office for 3,000 days. Kennett said it was to "assist and promote art" but he was on 2263 days in the job and appeared to be a shoo-in at the next election.
Actually, only four of the six premiers who have done the 3,000 days have statues so Dan could miss out. I used to like walking past the premier statues; the sculptor really captured their essence and mannerisms. I think he's offered to come out of retirement to do Dan :
“Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?” Oddball
