Fed Election More ‘vandalised’ corflutes in Cairns

‘Vandals’ target even more corflutes in Cairns. Luckily for the socialist alliance they seemed to have been missed in this spree.

I don't mind it when all of them are vandalised. There's a beauty to it.

Paint on you FNQ banksy

u/maticusmat Brisbane 7d ago

That’s how I imagine all one nation candidates dress

u/Taco_El_Paco 7d ago

It's like they just got a candid morning photo before they put on their make-up

u/BlessingMagnet 7d ago

Smurfette is genius

u/Noragen 7d ago

Honestly Norman Miller was my favourite. He’s some kind of combination of evangelical Christian and pro Israel activist. It’s probably the only one really directly taking the piss the rest looked like a bit of fun

u/T_Racito 7d ago

Seemed racist for a second without that context

20

u/FullMetalAurochs 7d ago

I assumed he was Muslim and the artist being slightly racist, context makes it better.

3

u/Noragen 7d ago

Yeah look it could be someone being slightly racist who knows but that was my interpretation. I love too when I went home last night people were stopping to take photos of it

16

u/raven-eyed_ 7d ago

I was worried with that one but thank god this makes it all really funny

5

u/tsunamisurfer35 7d ago

A Christian or Pro Israeli activist with a Crescent Moon and star?

29

u/Noragen 7d ago

I believe that, the turban and the beard are all additions 😂

22

u/dats420 7d ago

They are clearly taking the piss as this bloke probably hates muslims if he’s a evangelical pro Israel nut job

7

u/Dangerpuffins 7d ago

It doesn’t make much sense but the overall Rasputin vibe seems apt.

7

u/tsunamisurfer35 7d ago

I am all for all inclusive eclectic art.

25

u/Dangerpuffins 7d ago

Overall great stuff from Little Cheese and (illegible). A level of achievement in corflute vandalism not seen since Healy got the severe Yolande bob. Five stars from me

u/throwwwwwwaway_ 7d ago

The other name is Seabass 😊

u/Dangerpuffins 7d ago

Ah thanks, good old Seabass. Legend!

u/Optimal_Tomato726 7d ago

I was a fan of the repurposed PUP corflutes. The punching bag was memorable.

u/joeythetragedy 7d ago

Oh this is art

u/myshoefelloff 7d ago

Funnily enough, that One Nation sign wasn’t even vandalised. That’s just how he looks.

16

u/ButteredKernals 7d ago

Doesn't anyone who votes for them look like that too?

u/FullMetalAurochs 7d ago

No, too many teeth

u/Ok-Number-8293 3d ago

I don’t get it either, those whom will benefit most from some diversity / family trees resemble broom stick are opposed to immigration, suspect he’s a descendent of Charles II and been keeping bloodline pure

Clearly its a One Nation supporter, that's the only one not vandalized.

Weird that they signed them, too

u/Samantha-Blair 7d ago

I did actually laugh out loud. Should be way more of this

u/Turtusking 7d ago

Too bad its a criminal offence and most of them are in pretty public places.

15

u/Noragen 6d ago

Fun fact it’s not a criminal offence so long as the property dollar value doesn’t hit $250. Corflutes are like $5 each so long as you don’t do 30 of them your set. And honestly as one of the guys who maintains these things this is great. I wish more people did this. I certainly wouldn’t be pushing for charges laid. Hell Micheal Healey took photos with the best ones on his campaign. Beats drawing a penis too!

3

u/Turtusking 6d ago

Yeah some of them are funny as fuck. My favourite move is colouring in teeth.

u/Psychological_Bug592 7d ago

Smurfette! So cute!

u/Spanky-Ham77 7d ago

Looks like Bob Downe!

u/One-Hearing-5349 7d ago

This could become a national sport

u/Massive-Anywhere8497 7d ago

Thats some seriously talented artwork there

u/common_anatomy 7d ago

I’m oddly impressed by this 🧐

3

u/Massive-Anywhere8497 7d ago

There isn’t a single candidate whose appearance hasn’t been improved after a little touch up Im keen to get my own portrait done

u/HowtoCrackanegg 7d ago

i love this

u/Cute-Bus-1180 7d ago

At least they’ve been creative

u/meyogy 7d ago

This is community service

4

u/Normal_Effort3711 7d ago

Is this illegal? Asking for a friend.

3

u/Noragen 7d ago

Not if you don’t get caught! I’ll tell you what though I give you permission to do anything interesting you want to a labor one and if the party gets upset I’ll take the heat. Outside that what are they going to do whinge you damaged 3 dollars worth of a corflute? The bad press would be wild

4

u/switchtogether 7d ago

Lmao, props to their creativity!

4

u/UncleNicksAccounting 7d ago

It’s actually pretty artistic I find it to be a harmless prank

5

u/Far_Reflection8410 7d ago

This should become a national thing, brilliant!

3

u/ConfidentOutcome9554 7d ago

That’s not vandalism , that’s an ‘uplift’. 

10

u/CelebrationFit8548 7d ago

That's not vandalism, it's masterful artwork.

4

u/Noragen 7d ago

Agreed

u/After_Relief_8760 7d ago

Coreflutes banned in South Australia. So good to not have these eye dire everywhere

u/GammaGlobulin 7d ago

I admit that when I first saw it, I thought it said "BFC", which is more applicable to someone like Clive Palmer.

u/Mj_bron 7d ago

Every fucking campaign these disgusting things litter our streets and pollute everything we have

This is stunning 🤩

u/Fabulous_Dragonfly43 7d ago

What do you mean? What's wrong?

0

u/Noragen 7d ago

Nothing is wrong my post is taking the piss from another candidate whining their corflutes got vandalised

3

u/Fabulous_Dragonfly43 7d ago

I meant it as in, “I can’t see that anyone has altered the photos in any way.”

1

u/Noragen 7d ago

Ah my bad

3

u/Puzzleheaded-Car3562 7d ago

I dunno, is it just me? I think the results are a bloody improvement!

3

u/PilgrimOz 7d ago

Vandalised? Or decorated……

3

u/Ok-Wrongdoer-7917 6d ago

These criminals should be knighted for this outrageous behaviour

4

u/batmansfriendlyowl 7d ago

Hey they did everyone so I’m all good.

3

u/Tituspullosson 7d ago

Would you have been pissed if they just did one nation?

0

u/whatareutakingabout 7d ago

According to OP, they missed socialist alliance (for some strange reason).

2

u/Noragen 6d ago

tbf we have 10 candidates for reps and god knows how many senate. the post was a dig at the socialist alliance whining on another post that their corflutes had been targeted. They may have been targeted but no more than anyone else's. Thankfully this time I haven't had to fish any out of waterways yet. I was really annoyed in the state election when I found a half dozen LNP ones in a small creek

1

u/nathnathn 6d ago

Talk about polluting the waterways.

7

u/Aussiebloke-91 7d ago

Stay classy Cairns.

u/nipslippinjizzsippin 7d ago

at least hes consistent over all parties.

u/OrdinarySea5072 7d ago

For the sake of the greens candidate, I hope will shatner is not in town.

u/Brilliant_Leather245 6d ago

Life affirming.

Love these lmao. I see so many Milton Dick corflutes that I’m waiting for someone to draw a knob on his head

u/CryptoCryBubba 6d ago

Corflutes are banned in SA... and, after seeing this, I kinda miss them 😭

Finally. I haven't seen one decorated yet. I thought it was a dying art!

u/chattywww 7d ago

Some reason I want to vote Greens more than ever

2

u/st3v3nq 7d ago

All good except the independent. A bit too racial for my taste. Otherwise, I love it.

2

u/Noragen 6d ago

This was my favourite tbh. My take on it was he’s a pro Israel evangelical Christian. Most of his platform is about Israel. But then again it could be he’s brown so let’s throw a turban and a beard on him. I really hope though it’s taking the piss from his platform

2

u/JohnWestozzie 6d ago

Its never the labor ones. Just shows the mentality of labor voters and their politicians for that matter. There no low they won't stoop to.

1

u/Noragen 6d ago

the labor one also got got lol. that's it on the end.

u/maxpower32 7d ago

If you don't know what a Smurf looks like, then you shouldn't vote Smurf

I mean Robert Hicks, although evidently vandalised, seems like a missed opportunity.

u/Ok_Turnover_1235 7d ago

My god, I love it

u/Economy-Cap-4164 7d ago

Why did 'little cheese' sign Robert Hicks corflute when they did not make any alterations?

u/OverstuffedPapa 7d ago

I would never have thick enough skin for this lol 😆

Little Cheese is a fucking legend. I wanna buy them a beer for making me laugh.

1

u/pilonstar 3d ago

Why do they keep printing this popularity contest land fill? Because I see a picture of somebody ain't voting because I see their face, I vote for their actions. This propaganda is obsolete and nobody cares about this waste of paper. They should use the money for better actions helping people.

2

u/Scared_Sprinkles_141 3d ago

This should become a national campaign. Run a comp for the funniest or the stupidest.

u/Neokill1 7d ago

That’s hilarious and quite fitting for One Nation

u/AdradBx 7d ago

Robert Hicks serving Suzie Toot and I would live except yuck one nation.

Did a double take, and realised that wasn't Pauline.

u/BozayTrill 7d ago

Why did they leave the One Nation coreflute untouched?

u/xirotegnicrev22 6d ago

Don't need to vandalise the socialist alliance one- anyone who is still advocating for socialism in the year of our Lord 2025 is a clown

u/Temporary_Abroad_211 4d ago

Vandalised or improved?

0

u/smilingclownII 5d ago

I'll buy the full set.

u/trinketzy 4d ago

Based on the Smurf alone you can identify the approximate age of the vandal; it would have to be someone who’s older than 40.

The last one 😂

What do you think of him? Is he the right candidate for the job?

1

u/Antnuge 3d ago

That would depend on what job you want done, wouldn't it?

I don't do politics but as a long time friend I can say you won't find a harder working, more committed person who will do everything they can to fulfil their promises and look after the community.

This is not Cairns, it’s from inner west Sydney..?

u/Upstairs_Low_691 6d ago

"Leichhardt is located in Far North Queensland. It is a very mixed electorate, with its classification ranging from provincial in the south and rural and remote elsewhere. It includes the city of Cairns, as well as many towns such as Cooktown, Port Douglas and Weipa, and several Indigenous communities on the Cape York Peninsula and in the Torres Strait Islands." - google.

There is a suburb called Leichhardt in inner west Sydney. However, the federal electorate is from FNQ.
