A statue of a banana with a skull carved into it has sparked outrage after it was revealed it cost a whopping $22,000.
The artwork, named Fallen Fruit, has been erected on Rose Street in Fitzroy, Melbourne.
The sculpture was commissioned by the City of Yarra and paid for out of the $100,000 taxpayer-funded grant from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC).
The half-peeled banana with a human skull carved into the top stands 1.8 metre tall.
