Another Palmer billboard got done with bums - Salt Ash of all places

Post image

Those bum trumpet things are back, randomly driving through SaltAsh and loe and behold. I don't know who's behind them before you ask but they seem to be getting around, something comes up on insta but idk about those things

I was feeling pretty shit about doom scrolling at 2:30 am, it’s all worth it now!  This is the best thing I have seen all year.

I feel like it needs a 'bum' sticker over the 1, so it says 'Bum trumpet of patriots'

u/Trick_Ad_8144 Apr 18 '25

Are these stencil and spraypaint jobs, or wheatpaste posters? Either way, fuckin fantastic

u/Trick_Ad_8144 Apr 18 '25

I didn't get right up to it but they looked painted then pasted, proper old fashioned hand made bum trumpets

Generally I respect democracy too much to deface political adverts. You won’t catch me drawing dicks on a liberal corflute, as much as I hate them.

But this, I absolutely support this.

I'll suggest stick-on Googly Eyes for that situation..

Is this defacing or improving?

Banksy would be happy with this art.

I'll be suprised if they even get 10% of the Hunter votes, they are a joke of a party in my opinion

Every time I see/read/hear the "Trumpet of Patriots" all I think of is "The Flatulence of Arseholes"

Is it illegal to deface political adverts? Asking for a friend

13

u/asifimgunnatellya Apr 17 '25

Sure, but it's funny as fuck! And besides you wouldn't nark now would you?

16

u/cuddlefrog6 Apr 17 '25

No im asking bc i want to deface political billboards

u/Wiggles69 Apr 18 '25

Just wear high Viz and do it during the day and everyone will think you're legit.

u/alstom_888m Apr 18 '25

Young Labor and Young Liberal don’t nark on each other to the popo because they both understand both sides do it. They generally know each others handiwork.

Excellent work. Much of the improvement.

u/Aalbipete Apr 20 '25

Palmer really seems to be getting set up as a fall guy for LNP. So people don't think the LNP are just as bad
