Change the Princes Hwy to the Yuin Hwy


Change the Princes Hwy to the Yuin Hwy
The issue
The name of the Princes Highway should be changed as it was named after the former King Edward VIII (the bloke in the middle).
History shows Edward was a traitor and a racist. This man’s legacy is incompatible with the values of modern Australia. He abdicated his royal responsibilities, consorted with Adolf Hitler, expressed sympathy for Nazi Germany’s dominance of Europe, and made racist and offensive remarks in letters about Aboriginal people during his 1920 Australian tour.
To continue celebrating him on a major public road is disrespectful to history and community. The Yuin people are the Traditional Custodians of the South Coast, and the highway traverses Yuin Country from the Shoalhaven River to the Victorian Border. The time has come to recognise the true heritage and living culture of the South Coast of New South Wales.
This part of NSW is far too beautiful and precious to be marred by having a memorial to this man running through it.
