A FEDERAL MP’s Malvern office has been graffitied for the third time in 12 months, over the Federal Government’s use of offshore detention camps.

The vandal targeted Higgins Liberal MP Kelly O’Dwyer’s Malvern office, writing slogans slamming the Federal Government’s treatment of refugees and asylum seekers.

In this morning’s attack the words “12 dead under liberal detention! Vote them out!” were sprayed on windows, with CCTV stills showing the culprit covering their face with a hood as they worked.

It followed an incident last week where the words “Liberals support death camps!” were sprayed onto the office about 1.40am on October 9.

And last November windows were smashed with a pickaxe and the words “Manus is torture. F — k the border” were painted on the glass and brickwork.

It’s believed the same person may be behind at least two of the incidents and police have been notified.

Ms O’Dwyer said the graffiti was unacceptable and it was unfortunate the clean up bill would be picked up by tax payers.

“It is unacceptable for offensive language to be graffitied anywhere, but in such a public place close to schools and a school bus stop is beyond the pale,” she said.

The clean-up costs for the latest two incidents is expected to total $600, while last November’s bill reached as high as $15,000.

Ms O’Dwyer’s office was also vandalised on election day in 2013, causing taxpayers to fork out about $15,000 for smashed windows.
