Brisbane City Council Suck

BRISBANE'S anti-graffiti squad has been accused of illegally entering private property to paint over a commissioned mural by a world-renowned street artist.

New York-based artist Anthony Lister was last week commissioned to paint a 10m mural in a vacant lot in Fortitude Valley.

The piece took him two days but was "buffed" by Brisbane City Council's Graffiti Reduction Unit less than 48 hours later.

Mr Lister, who was born in Brisbane but lives in Brooklyn, had a letter of permission from the lot owner.
