Nil “Empathy” for this Graffiti Tag
5 August 2008

Media Release

Newcastle City Council has identified the “Empathy” tag on 35 surfaces along Hunter St. The number is closer to 65 surfaces as Graffiti X has removed the “Empathy” tag from another 30 surfaces as part of its sponsorship of Newcastle East Graffiti removal campaign.

Many of the “Empathy” tags as well as other graffiti were removed from public phone booths, street & heritage signs, bus shelters, Newcastle Port Authority murals and East Newcastle City Council properties.

Graffiti vandals have especially targeted Pacific Park. Last Monday, 4 August, Mr Peter Siegmund the managing director of Graffiti X, spent two hours removing the “Empathy” tags from a variety of Newcastle East council properties.

Peter Siegmund states:

“When I proposed this Newcastle East graffiti removal sponsorship to Newcastle City Council, I had no idea that the project would be such a gruelling and ongoing battle to contain the graffiti rampage.”

Graffiti vandalism - the wilful marking, spraying or writing of a surface without the owner’s consent is a crime punishable by a jail term, monetary fine, and/or community service. Severe penalties under the Crimes Act 1900 and Summary Offences Act 1988 are in place to deal with graffiti vandalism.

Peter Siegmund urges Newcastle law enforcement bodies and private residents to be vigilant in combating this vandalism and bringing the criminals to justice.

Graffiti X is a Newcastle based company that offers ecofriendly products and responsive help, graffiti patrols, advice and graffiti removal services. Its competitive advantage is “removing and repairing graffiti from most surfaces leaving no shadows or damage”. The owner Peter Siegmund, has been directly involved in Graffiti monitoring and removal throughout NSW for about 15 years.
