New South Wales MP Jeremy Buckingham is advocating for a significant public memorial to honor AC/DC, calling them Australia's most successful artistic act.

During a recent budget estimates hearing, Buckingham urged Premier Chris Minns to recognize the global impact of AC/DC, highlighting the need for acknowledgment of their contributions.

Buckingham criticized Sydney's cultural elites for their failure to celebrate the iconic rock band, which was formed by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young in Sydney in 1973.

Despite AC/DC's immense success, with approximately 200 million albums sold worldwide and hits like 'Thunderstruck' and 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,' there is only a small mural in Burwood to honor their legacy.

Buckingham emphasized the urgency of creating a memorial, pointing out that there are already statues dedicated to lesser-known figures.

He described the current situation as cultural cringe, where elitism hinders the recognition of working-class contributions to music.

The recent demolition of the Youngs' childhood home in Burwood, which was heritage listed, sparked public outrage and was attributed to a developer's oversight.

In response to Buckingham's proposal, Premier Minns expressed his admiration for AC/DC and agreed to consider the idea of a memorial.
