Damaging the facade

Customers were just as affronted as the business proprietor Steve McHugh on Monday, March 15, by the campaign sign screwed into the frontage of well-known heritage-listed Booker Bay General Store.

Without the written consent of the property owner, it was a clear breach of the Parliamentary Electorates and Elections Act 1912.

Should further consideration be given to the contemptuous actions of those bill posters and their ignorance of Section 9 of the Summary Offences Act?

They seem to emerge every election in darkness ignoring the law and doing exactly what is required of them by those political hopefuls they represent.

These bill posters were supposedly supporting a new local party (Central Coast First) while damaging the almost new heritage facade of Booker Bay General Store.

I'm sure party members would be extremely angry if their business frontages and fences were used without written permission from the owner by electoral hopefuls for the illegal posting of election campaign material.
