“Sadly, my home was targeted by vandals again. For my & husband’s safety we will upgrade security again,” Mr Wilson tweeted.
“AFP are being called to the Goldstein office many times.
“This is not Goldstein, and many residents are saying they’re intimidated by outsiders trying to change our community.”

The moderate Liberal is facing a strong challenge from independent and former ABC journalist Zoe Daniel.
She is running on a platform for stronger climate policy and action on the anti-corruption commission.
Mr Wilson currently holds Goldstein, a traditionally blue-ribbon Liberal seat in Melbourne’s south-east, on a margin of 7.8 per cent.
