Locals campaigned for 18 years to get their Alstonville Bypass, but it has only taken around a month for vandals to attack its noise walls with graffiti.

  1. graffiti is not a real crime, murder and bashings are. but i guess ya’ll are to pussy to take on real matters yeah? old fuddy duddys

  2. Hey NBN! wheres the mention of putting up some more spaces for the youth to paint? if they had MORE spaces to legally paint outside, “graffiti crime” would go down & artists might actually get a chance to spend some time to develop their skills!

    Here’s a question: If you saw someone painting illegally with a e.g. brush, chalks, foam. Would you see it as graffiti?

    ———————————————- FINAL NOTE ——————————————-

    Please remember just because a multimillion dollar company can afford a $80,000 billboard doesn’t make it any less-intrusive than “graffiti” itself. No-one asked to have their eyes soiled by this Illuminated, corporate-propaganda. You’ve all been condition that graffiti is wrong and that billboards are sociably acceptable. HAVE A GOOD THINK ABOUT THAT ONE!

    There are no workshops, grants, LEGAL SPACES!, mentors or any overall guidance for the graffiti writers. So, get off ya backsides and promote the better side of it and get ready for some positive results!

    There’s some food for thought…

  3. stop being such puppets, it was graffiti. its not like the group of people killed anyone, or caused a crash? no there was just paint on walls, as the king kwaun said there are no workshops, grants, LEGAL SPACES!, mentors or any overall guidance for the graffiti writers! we buy our own paint, we get our own skills, we don’t sit in uni and study it for 2 years to try make somthing out of it. It’s artwork plan and simple. If there where to be more legal spots and if it were to be more excepted then stuff like this might not happen. how do you advertise NBN , you but thing on ever thing, if the artist wants to get his/or her name up with out any ones support they will tag it,,
    ooo and what has the licence have to do with this? why must someone lose there licence?

  4. the gold coast hwy barriers ,allowed young artists 2 display their colourful art on their walls,thus saving graffiti removal costs 2 communtity.alstonville hwy gets hwy skirting board,what do u expect.brainless thinking
