/>“Theres been alot of talk about the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, and all
the work being put in to clean up the place. One of the issues raised was
“Graffiti”. The Melbourne city counicil decided to instead interview street
artists and find out what they think is best for them instead of just buffing
all the graffiti. Instead of pissing off hundreds of street artists the council
has decided to compromise. Asking the artists what they want. Some ideas were
tolerance zones and graffiti workshops run by experianced writers. This report
was ignored and they decided to go ahead with the removal with a zero tolerance.
But there is a few members of the council who are fighting for the writers.

No matter what happens we all know one thing….“graffiti can’t be
stopped”
