A provocative fake bin has been installed outside Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan\u2019s Bendigo electorate office, in what appears to be a satirical political stunt.<\/p>\n
Styled like an official government drop-off box, the large blue bin features chequered police tape around the base and a sign reading \u201cShit Premier Safe Disposal Bin\u201d. It was placed directly outside the Premier\u2019s Williamson Street office, where she also serves as the state member for Bendigo East.<\/p>\n
The installation is believed to be the work of activist art collective The New Radicals, known for their bold and politically charged street art. A post shared to the group\u2019s Instagram account referred to it as a \u201cfake machete bin\u201d, and described it as the latest work by \u201clocal artists striking again\u201d.<\/p>\n
The bin\u2019s appearance follows a separate political protest in May, when a sealed package of cow manure was delivered to Premier Allan\u2019s Melbourne parliamentary office in opposition to the state\u2019s new fire services levy. That incident sparked widespread condemnation, with Allan calling the act \u201cdisgraceful\u201d and referring the matter to the Speaker.<\/p>\n
The Bendigo bin stunt has not yet been formally acknowledged by the Premier or her staff, and it is unclear whether the installation was placed with permission or how long it will remain in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
