The poster featured his local MP, Michael McCormack, the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, and mining magnates Gina Rinehart and Clive Palmer.

Was a different cafe by the looks…

“In February, police seized similar posters from Dissent cafe in Canberra. The artwork, by protest artist group Grow Up Art which is not connected to Agzarian, depicted various world leaders including the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and US president, Donald Trump, in Nazi uniforms.”
