Former AFL star Nicky Winmar, 60, has been removed from the Australian Football Hall of Fame after being sentenced to six months' jail plus a 12-month community corrections order for assaulting a woman in Cohuna, Victoria. The bronze statue of his 1993 anti-racism stand outside Perth Stadium has also been taken down. Winmar is appealing both conviction and sentence.
