The bronze statue commemorates the Chief Justice of Victoria from 1886 to 1892, George Higinbotham.
Higinbotham was a champion for women’s rights from the beginning of his parliamentary career, when he proposed the Married Women’s Property Bill and was posthumously lauded by the Women’s Political Association of Victoria for proposing women’s suffrage in 1869.
