Canberra gets exciting and cold

Cant guarantee pictures yet (grammar and spelling ever). Im a little behind the eight ball on this one as Im currently packing up house and preparing for the final inspection here in Brisbane (beautiful autumn temps) and all the excitment is hap hap happening in (how cold is it) Canberra. Thanks to all for updates.
So some liberal MLA has taken it upon himself to remove a Mural i was commissioned to produce a few years back. My understanding of his current position is that it was in a culturally insensitive position. However the poor fool failed to properlly look into the legalities (not the word im after, i would like to link this kind of ill formed rash,dictatorial behavour to the top dog of th liberal heap {see Joint Strike Fighter,IRAQ, Hicks and moneys for water stuff etc etc ad infinum}.But its run more like the pecking order of chickens ,and im no word smith) of the said paintings provenance. Paid for by a community sporting group, run through due process at Urban Services and existant for nearly two years, before the ground swell of complaints left our good friend with no option but its destruction.(Can i ask why anyone would complain to the opposition rather than the government proper, and cause they wouldn't listen is no excuse. I've had public projects reject on the wieght of a single complainant.)

Paid in full would be ideal (charges and fees) but the least i can do is hold a 5 hour press confrense and repaint it.
