I think this might be the same person who did this last time, it's very close to where I saw the last one. Which the city dealt with in a matter of days from when I saw it, so maybe this particular canvas of street art will also get cleaned/painted over.

(I'm not against street art - I'm rather fond of some of the prettier examples of it as an art form, and tagging is an interesting form of self expression - I just said that in that I'm curious how long it will take the city to do something about this tag, since the previous one I found on City property also caused it and nearby graffiti to be quickly cleaned when previously ignored, and graffiti on a trash receptacle is the ultimate "not worth cleaning".)

Earlier this week, Mr Gibson-Burrell's grandmother Joan Bell told the court that she would offer him a place to stay in Geelong and could supervise a nightly curfew. "It's my house, my rules," she told the court. "I don't believe everything in the media about some of this behaviour. "It's not the grandson I know, so that's a bit foreign to me."

The court was told two businesses were considering offering Mr Gibson-Burrell work, and another friend was willing to put up a $30,000 surety to secure his release.

Jack Gibson-Burrell, 21, arrived at court on Thursday wearing a Spider-Man mask, then later exited wearing a full-body costume, flanked by his defence lawyer Micky Milardovic.

He crouched down and posed for cameras, before running down the street, appearing to attempt to scale CBD buildings.

Additionally, according to court documents, he has been charged with assault, behaving in a riotous manner at the Emporium shopping centre, trespass, damaging train carriages and abseiling a building more than 30 metres in height.

Mr Gibson-Burrell has also been charged with damaging a "building of cultural significance with a vintage Uncle Tobys advertisement on it", with the alleged damage to the tune of $99,110.

Severe enough to be hospitalised, and your response is “kind of rude”. And your personal experience leads you to basically state that he had it coming to him.

Police also allege he was involved in ram-raiding a stolen car through a Nando's restaurant in Footscray last year.

The car was spray painted with the words "We don't accept cash here" and "Nando dogs", the court heard.

Police also laid an additional charge of intentionally causing injury after Gibson-Burrell allegedly stabbed a man in January, the court heard.

“Imagining things”

Let’s also add from the Guardian article

Footage also played to the court showed a man with a resemblance to Mr Gibson-Burrell punching a worker at Melbourne's Emporium shopping centre in 2023.
