A historic war memorial near Brisbane has been vandalised just days before Remembrance Day.
The sandstone cenotaph at Cleveland’s Anzac Memorial Park, built in 1920, was found smashed on Sunday.
Witnesses said they saw four teenagers laughing as they damaged the monument.
Queensland Police said they were investigating the incident. Liberal National Party MP Henry Pike condemned the destruction as “absolutely disgraceful” and called for tougher laws protecting war memorials.
