Nasty losers

The Herald reports:

An Auckland family has fallen victim to a vicious political attack after their house was vandalised with election hate speech.

On Sunday morning Grey Lynn resident Zoe Tietze was getting ready to take her dog for a walk when she stepped outside and saw her home had been tagged.

“We noticed it all over the street and on our house,” she told the Herald.

“We originally had a small hoarding on our house supporting the National Party. The vandals had clearly seen that. It was taken down on Friday afternoon but they still remembered our house and decided they wanted to tag us. “

The attackers, who vandalised the property on Saturday night after the election, wrote “Blood on your hands” on Tietze’s front porch.

The tagging spilled over on to the road where messages “3 more years of poverty and misery” and “National government kills” were spray-painted outside Tietze’s home.

The attack has left the family and nearby residents frightened.
