A regional New South Wales town continues to grapple with the issue of removing a statue of Australia's first prime minister, Sir Edmund Barton, who many believe left a legacy of "racism".
The statue sits in a prominent riverside location in Port Macquarie's Town Green, beside an Aboriginal burial ground and campsite, where its location has sparked controversy and a campaign to have it removed.
Sir Edmund played a key role in drafting the national constitution and his government passed the Immigration Restriction Act, a forerunner to the White Australia policy.
