MELBOURNE: An Australian mural of US presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in a revealing, stars and stripes swimsuit may be taken down, after it has reportedly been deemed offensive. Asked what he planned next, Lushsux told listeners: "I might paint a big mural of Trump in similar style." Lushsux accused the council of being out of control, telling Fairfax the mural was "on par offence-wise" with a deodorant ad. The provocative mural is on the wall of a small business in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray, and reports say the business has been asked by the local Maribyrnong Council to remove it. "We believe it is offensive because of the depiction of a near-naked woman, not on the basis of disrespect to Hillary Clinton, in accordance with the Graffiti Prevention Act 2007," the council's chief executive Stephen Wall told Fairfax Media on Friday.
