in City East and City West, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Residents speculated that both acts were perpetrated by the same person(s), with some saying it would be \u201cjust like the ALP\u201d to ruin its own poster simply to gain public sympathy.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, UPP Mobilization Officer George Wehner is appealing to \u201cthe decent elements within the ALP\u201d to call a halt to this type of behaviour, which he says is \u201cbeneath the UPP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He says it is ironic that a Labour Party poster \u201cthat tells the people they are safer\u201d would be used to perpetrate what amounts to \u201ca criminal activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further, Wehner says, it is quite telling that, in order to achieve visibility and get attention, the ALP operatives have had to affix their candidate\u2019s poster to Pringle\u2019s billboard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOURCE: Real News<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2435788602\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a
