OK. Yes it is.
A lot of controversy recently about graffiti artists/ taggers. A few comments flying around the office. It seems an Australian first offender, 18yo woman, was jailed for 3 months for a graffiti attack. While in NZ a 40 yo man stabbed a 15yo kid to death for tagging his garage door! This greatly upset his parents. (The 15yo's ones). It seems that graffiti is a very emotional topic for some people. OK ok I hear you protest. It's actually a property issue.
Meanwhile in Surry Hills this little gnome appeared in a door way. No one was killed or jailed (as far as I know) but I did receive a glaring look from Judy for delaying the next coffee by 3 minutes to photograph him. Cute I say!

Graffiti or vandalism is indeed about property. One person's right to free expression ends where someone else's right to their property starts. It's all about respecting someone else's property rights.
