Goldstein Liberal candidate Tim Wilson’s posters vandalised

After teal Monique Ryan’s Monday apology, CCTV reveals more election vandalism in second key teal battleground | WATCH

Vandalised corflutes for Liberal candidate for Goldstein, Tim Wilson.

Another set of Liberal Party campaign posters has been vandalised in a teal independent-held Victorian seat, with footage showing figures spray-painting or tearing down corflutes.

Pictures shared with The Australian show graffiti over multiple corflutes for Liberal candidate for Goldstein Tim Wilson and others torn down.

This comes after teal independent Monique Ryan and her husband Peter Jordan apologised on Monday after social media footage showed Mr Jordan taking down and walking away with a campaign poster for Liberal challenger in Kooyong, Amelia Hamer.

The Australian does not suggest teal independent Goldstein MP Zoe Daniel or her campaign was involved in the vandalism of Mr Wilson’s signs.

Night-time security camera footage shows a figure in a beanie walking up to a sign, spray can in hand, and painting over the corflute. Another clip shows a figure taking a sign off the front fence of what appears to be a private home and walking off with it.

Images of the aftermath show at least five posters with “Wilson” loosely crossed out in black spray-paint and a hastily – often partially – blackened out face.

Vandalised corflutes for Liberal candidate for Goldstein, Tim Wilson.

Mr Wilson lost the blue-ribbon Liberal seat of Goldstein to Ms Daniel in 2022. The seat had previously only ever been held by the Liberals since its creation in 1984. Ms Daniel won the seat with a slim 2.9 percentage point margin.

On Monday, footage emerged of Kooyong MP Monique Ryan’s husband Peter Jordan taking down a corflute for the Liberal candidate and walking off with it.

In the video, Mr Jordan refused to identify who he was and said it was an “illegal sign” because it was “on public land”.

Mr Jordan and Dr Ryan apologised.

“I unreservedly apologise for removing the sign,” Mr Jordan said. “It was a mistake.

“I believed the sign was illegally placed but I should have reported my concerns to council.”

“I apologise for the removal of the sign,” Dr Ryan said. “It should not have happened.

“All concerns around signage should be reported to council.”
