Sydney artist Osvaldo Budet has hit back at Maitland City Council after it placed a warning sign in front of his artwork examining the racial legacy of the century-old “Jocko Graves” statue on Maitland’s High Street.

The dispute has sparked wider discussion in the community about the statue’s history and council involvement in artistic exhibitions.
