Is a Pelican better than a Prawn.  Why remove it anyhow.  Nothing in the story explains why they were even voting on it.  Any more details?

Yeah...what's the big issue with it that required a vote in the first place?

I don't understand... if it's a "recognizable landmark" then obviously it's been there for quite a while... why is there all of a sudden some issue with it that requires local government to assume the role of deciding if it can stay, go, or be replaced with something else?

Australia is a big country full of big things. The big Marino, the big pineapple, the big banana, the big lawnmower and many more. This is the thin edge of the wedge, if we lose the prawn whats next.

This is just a guess, but my take was that the current owner of the property wants the prawn gawn - er - gone, and likely it was a bunch of locals tried to block the action because it was a "landmark".  Thus the council was just affriming the right of the owners to get rid of it if they want.

Happens in the US all the time.  A developer wants to tear down an old building to do a new project, and somebody somewhere decides that old building has "historic significance" of some kind and tries to block the development.

Ahh, OK, I just read the comments on the article. Seems the owners wanted it gone. The story wasn't clear on that.
