Leslie says it's sinister, and it must be upsetting to have your image 'defaced', but I think less sinister, more stupid, given that Leslie got a colour photo and coverage from the Southland Times, the raise in profile that brings, and, I suspect, a swelling of sympathy that may help her chances come polling day. Nice work, under-cover-of-darkness defacers.

Shock horror!
A billboard defaced? No.
You should see what happens to hoardings, mainly the Nats and Act, up here.
Seriously I find it offensive that people go around defacing candidates hoardings as I consider it to be a denial of the right to free speech, whatever side of the political spectrum one sits.
I suppose, Quintin, it could be said that, for example, adding a Hitlerian moustache to a candidate's image, or drawing dollar-signs in their eyes is a form of free-speech on behalf of the defacer, but the slicing out of someone's face from a billboard seems a step too far to me. I would enjoy seeing some of the more creative 're-arrangements' of billboards in Auckland - does any blogger keep a gallery?
Perhaps it's justtaxpayers getting their stolen money back? Bit by bit.
Shane, I do believe his Lordship will have difficulty remembering that far back. Poor fellow has a severe case of Selective Memory. Not sure there is a 'cure', although there are several effective 'remedies'.
I bet it was tim shadbolts pigs
