Posters showing the CCTV image of the man accused of scalding baby Luka with hot coffee in 2024 were placed on a construction site wall on Chapel Street in Prahan.
Melbourne Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece yesterday described the posters of Akram as “absolutely abhorrent”.
“(Drew’s) posters are a good example of the role contemporary street art can play in politics as a means of social activism,” Reece said in a statement.
“For Drew’s work to be hijacked and appropriated into images of hatred and division is absolutely abhorrent.
“To use the image of the Bondi shooter is just sick. Families are still grieving, the community is still grieving.”
Reece said his team has worked around the clock to remove the posters.
Drew also condemned the person behind the posters.
“Whoever made these posters doesn’t believe in Australia,” he said.
“They are not patriotic. They claim to be patriots, but we’re the patriots. We’re the ones who love Australia.”
