A giant image of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern hugging a woman has been painted on a street silo in Melbourne as a message of peace to the world.
The image of Ardern embracing the Muslim woman was spread following the Christchurch terror attacks as a symbol of love and tolerance,
Artist Loretta Lizzio was invited by mural organisers to paint the massive work on the silo, which stands 75 feet tall. She told Stuff the artwork “couldn’t be more fitting for this area”.
“I think it’s important because hate crimes are a global issue and this mural would have been fitting all over the world,” she said.
“We want this message, this moment in time, remembered. We want to learn from it, we want it to hold us up, to strengthen us,”
It would have had more impact if she had hugged a male Moslem.
..just before he blows himself up.
Silo owned by a Muslim man.
Is it with in paintball range?
I hope it influenced the election, not only that Aussie was becoming a Muslim nation, but that it was going to be taken over by NZ.
The Ockers just last weekend proved that they are at least brighter than NZ.
Of course ever country has a few dunderheads (how else would a political movement elect Shorten to a high office?) and nutbars – usually calling themselves “comedians”, “entertainers” or “artists”.
Aussies not very bright?
May I respectfully take issue with your headline in defence of our neighbours.
The action of one (or maybe several) unelected individuals cannot reasonably be extrapolated to the entire Australian population, any more than all New Zealanders wish to be represented by the virtue-signalling but wholly inadequate Jacinda Ardern.
Does anyone know what the script says?
Forgive me, I am a compulsive liar?
Where’s the camera?
Tarrant must be laughing all the way to a book deal as the SLG takes it far and beyond his expectations. Along with full coverage still available on RNZ for any who might have missed any of the photo ops.
