Liberal MP Julian Leeser says he has called in the Australian Federal Police after his campaign offices were defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti, in the latest incident in a growing list of assaults against candidates.
Mr Leeser, a sixth-generation Jewish Australian who has held the northern Sydney seat of Berowra since 2016, said the crude graffiti was the third such hateful incident inflicted on his campaign.
The Liberal backbencher said his election posters had previously been vandalised with “swastikas and Hitler moustaches”.
Following that, his “posters [were] torn down and repeatedly defaced by Electrical Trade Union stickers”.
“Now the photo on my campaign office – private property, not public property – has been painted over with dollar signs,” Mr Leeser wrote on Facebook.
