Vandalised would be a more accurate description.
Posting this mostly to comment on the near daily culture war distractions being peddled by the government to distract from all the horrible shit they’re doing, and the effect this is having to embolden bigots and fascists to commit more extreme acts.

I wonder if this is where we will see the “hard on crime” stance show up? 🤔
On one hand the crossing looked awful and used the ugly new flag. But that doesn’t give anyone except the council the right to remove. Pure hate motivated crime.
3 guesses who’s the culprit. Unrelated link below.
Prosecute this as the hate crime that it is.
Looks like they may be doing just that: Police treat painting over of Auckland’s K’ Road rainbow crossing as hate crime
Destiny church have been hate filled shit cunts for a very long time, I don’t think you can blame this on the government.
Besides, National haven’t said anything against the rainbow community, to my knowledge.
I’m blaming the government for emboldening it through their constant culture war bullshit, not for this actual act. They are definitely connected issues.
National aren’t the whole government. ACT and NZ First are well into this to try and stave off the coalition curse, and National is unable to control them.
