is an emotion one would feel if their private property was vandalized
or a target of graffiti. An appropriate response when we take time and
effort to keep our own property in good condition. We take pride in
our public places too, including parks and town pathways. People could
expect the same pride of property should be held by governments at all
levels and public transport service providers. We all want to live in
a clean and beautiful environment, presented to all the way we want
it to be.
We all see graffiti, whether it be on paling fences, public monuments
and furniture, or along road or rail corridors. Some of the graffiti
is quite colourful and impressive, but it has not been commissioned,
it was not wanted, and it is vandalism. The place for art is where it
would be appreciated, and tagging is just ugly.
Our
aim is to work on strategies with governments at all levels and the
public to educate and share knowledge on graffiti vandalism. Ultimately,
it is desired to have no graffiti or vandalism anywhere. As with everything,
this is something that is progressive and requires constant reviewing
and reassessment. As new graffiti vandalism issues crop up, they need
to be reviewed and techniques developed to combat them.

is zero tolerance on graffiti vandalism. We will achieve our aims and
it will require punishments that fit the crimes, education of our youngsters
as to appropriate behaviour in public and immediate removal of graffiti
and damage repair to vandalism.
