Graffiti depicting iconic Irish Australian outlaw Ned Kelly. On the 11th of November 1880 he was executed by hanging at Melbourne jail. Ned Kelly and his gang are remembered for robbing banks and waging a war on police. At the time of his capture he had enormous popular support among working people, which continues to this day.“Are all my brothers and sisters, and my mother, not to be pitied also, who have no alternative but to put up with the brutal and cowardly conduct of a parcel of big ugly fat-necked wombat headed, big bellied, magpie legged, narrow hipped, splay-footed sons of Irish bailiffs or English landlords, known as ‘officers of justice’ or ‘Victorian Police’ who some call honest gentlemen but I would like to know what business an honest man would have in the Police as it is an old saying it takes a rogue to catch a rogue.”Ned Kelly Jerilderie Letter (1879) -- source link
