Propaganda Put up by this Multiculti Clown ... MUST COME DOWN!

POSTERS featuring images of Australians granted exemption from the White Australia policy and the slogan "Aussie'' have begun popping up around the Territory.

In Cavenagh St, a vandal has defaced the artwork – ripping "Aussie'' from the base of the poster and writing "Muslim Terrorist'' in thick, black marker.

These words were crossed out late on Saturday night and "Such a Shame'' was written in their place.

Street artist Peter Drew, the man behind the "Real Australians Say Welcome'' posters, travelled through the Territory on the Ghan last week with his new project – What is a Real Aussie?

"It's about asking people to really think what it really means to be Aussie and where we inherit our identity from," Mr Drew said.

"Does Aussie have more to do with the mistakes of the past or more to do with the people who survived the mistakes of the past?"

Mr Drew found a 100-year-old photograph of Indian-born Pashtun cameleer Monga Kahn in the Australian national archives, along with thousands of others who applied for exemptions to the White Australia policy.

One thousand posters featuring seven people from varying nationalities, including an Aboriginal man, will be pasted up across the country.

"A large part of this project is a celebration of the history of Australian diversity, but a part of it is also provocation (against) people (who) are uncomfortable with the idea of multiculturalism, and I think it's important to challenge those people."

But the posters haven't all been received without controversy, with some already ripped down in Darwin.

"The type of art RUBBISH that I make ... puts our freedom of expression above our value of private property – in a pretty gentle way, hopefully," Mr Drew said. And... look at any hullabaloo caused if racialists put up propaganda that is pro Australian. NOT pro multicultural about scumbags who are aussie on paper!
