Jack Karlson, Mr Democracy Manifest need a Statue

The issue

Jack Karlson, Mr Democracy Manifest, a legend of Brisbane passed away in August 2024. Jack created a classic video with this Succulent Chinese meal while getting arrested at the China Sea Restaurant in Fortitude Valley in Brisbane in 1991. Jack created a meme decades before there were memes. He went viral before we knew what viral was. Jack was a legend, his video has made himself, the Valley, Brisbane and Democracy famous. Let's never forget Jack and get a statue of him erected.
