Vandals target Peter Dutton’s electorate office in Arana Hills
Vandals have defaced federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s electorate office with bizarre messaging aimed at Anthony Albanese.
Police are investigating red graffiti sprawled across the windows of federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s office in Brisbane’s north.
The graffiti was discovered on Friday morning at the Arana Hills electorate office on Dawson Parade.
The red and yellow paint sprawled across every window of the office made statements calling on the Labor government to learn lessons from the recent US presidential election, where Donald Trump won after a hotly contested campaign against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Part of the vandalism took aim at the Vice President’s failed campaign: “Kamala (Harris) bowed to the right and the moderates. How did that work out?”
On another window, the vandals wrote: “Learn the lesson Labor: Actually do something for your voters or Dutton will get them.”
The vandals also indicated that Labor could improve by getting rid of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, saying: “Hint: Dump Albo! Nobody f–king likes him.”
The graffiti has raised questions on social media as people wonder why Mr Dutton’s office was the target.
“Why wouldn’t they write that on a Labor or greens office? I mean it reads like they are giving the left a message, not the right,” one person stated.
“It just makes no sense at all.”

Another wrote: “Why, if you’re angry at Labor, would you use an LNP office as a spray target? Can’t they tell the difference?”
A Queensland Police spokeswoman confirmed that police had received a report of wilful damage at the Arana Hills office shortly before 10am and were investigating.
A spokeswoman for Mr Dutton told NewsWire the office was not staffed on Fridays.
