I am disgusted by the shocking hateful graffiti of Nazi symbols and slogans that took place in Wangaratta overnight.
This behaviour and these attitudes are unacceptable and have no place in our town and
community.For this to take place in the days leading up to Anzac Day, when we stop to remember those who fought for us, and against the hatred that these symbols represent, is particularly disturbing.
Wangaratta has been my home for 37 years and I love this town for its welcoming, generous attitude. This display of hate is completely against the values of our town.
In Wangaratta we celebrate our diversity and I want to send a message to those in the community who are targeted in this graffiti – you are loved, you are welcome, you are valued.
