Election interference
A CANDIDATE for the forthcoming Federal Election has appealed for respect after a trailer displaying their corflute signs was damaged.
Disappointing: The trailer was vandalised last week.
Member for Wannon Dan Tehan expressed his frustration last week after a campaign trailer was vandalised in Port Fairy overnight on Friday, February 28.
Corflute signage was ripped from the trailer, in addition to the license plate being spray painted and a tyre being punctured.
In a statement, Mr Tehan said seeing such wilful damage was a first for him.
“In every campaign I’ve been in, I’ve never seen deliberate damage to property like this,” he said.
“It has been reported to the police and I would just ask that everyone respect people’s right to voice an opinion during the forthcoming election.”
The vandalism included a punctured tyre.
