ʻO ka mea pena kiʻi graffiti kaulana a kaulana loa o ka honua, ʻo Banksy, i ʻōlelo ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea hana ke alanui ʻo Melbourne ma ke ʻano he kōkua nui a ka lāhui i nā mea noʻeau mai ka wā i ʻaihue ʻia ai nā penikala Aborigines.

He mea kolohe paha ia, akā ʻo Melbourne City Council kekahi mea e waiwai nui ai iā ia, e uhi ana i kahi stencil Banksy ma Cocker Alley me ka perspex e pale ai i ka hōʻino ʻia.

A ʻo kahi balota a Lonely Planet i loaʻa ai nā kiʻi o ke alanui ʻo Melbourne a me nā alahele ka mea hoihoi i ka moʻomeheu i ka lāhui, ma mua o ka National Gallery a me Kakadu.

Akā ʻo Kuhina Nui John Brumby i nehinei i hōʻino aku iā Tourism Victoria no ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā ala kalai ʻia i kahi kūlanakauhale i hana hou ʻia o Melbourne ma Florida World Disney, e koi ana i ke aupuni ʻaʻole makemake i kahi hōʻike e "hoʻolaha i ka graffiti".

"Ua kuhihewa ka 'Oihana. Ua kala aku lākou i ke kuhina a e unuhi lākou i ka hōʻike, ”wahi a Mr Brumby.

Wahi a ke Kuhina Nui, ʻo ka ʻāpana “nani” o nā ala ʻo Melbourne ka kaila “ʻEulopa-type”, ʻaʻole ka graffiti. “ʻO ka hāmama, nā hale ʻaina liʻiliʻi, nā ipu pua, nā ipukukui, kēlā mau mea āpau. ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo ʻo ka graffiti ka mea a mākou e makemake ai e hōʻike ma nā ʻāina ʻē. Ua kau mākou i loko o nā kānāwai ʻoi loa e hoʻonāwaliwali i ka graffiti - he maʻiʻino ia ma ke kūlanakauhale. "

Akā ʻo ka mea hoʻokumu a me ka luna o ka pāhana ʻoihana kaiāulu ʻo Melbourne City, ʻo Andrew MacDonald, i ʻōlelo ʻo Premier ka huikau o ka graffiti vandalism a me ka tag ʻana me nā kiʻi o ke alanui.

"Inā makemake ʻo John Brumby a me (Kuhina Huakaʻi) ʻo Tim Holding iā ia a ʻaʻole paha, he mea nui ia nā hana mākaʻikaʻi a Melbourne me nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi," wahi a Mr MacDonald. "Aia lākou ma hope o nā manawa a ma waho o ka wāwae me ka manaʻo o ka lehulehu - ʻōlelo wau i ka Bravo iā Tourism Victoria no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hōʻike i kahi mea maoli e hana nei ma aneʻi."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mr MacDonald he neʻe ka honua holoʻokoʻa. I ka makahiki i hala aku nei ua kūʻai aku ka National Gallery ma Canberra i kāna hōʻiliʻili mua o nā kiʻi kiʻi alanui a me kahi hana Banksy ma ka paia Lādana i kūʻai aku nei no £ 208,000 ma eBay. "ʻAʻole makemake wale ka poʻe iā ia, akā aia kahi mākeke no ia."

ʻO ka luna o ka Heide Museum of Modern Art, ʻo Jason Smith, i ʻōlelo ʻo ke ʻano alanui he "kōkua nui i kā mākou moʻomeheu ʻike". "ʻO kekahi o nā mea aʻu e makemake ai e pili ana i nā alaloa, ʻo Hosier Lane kekahi, ʻo ia ke ala āu e ʻike ai i nā graffiti e hana hou nei a hana hou ʻia."

ʻO ka mea hana papahana Graffiti ʻo Paul Round i ʻōlelo he mea hoʻomakeʻaka nā ʻōlelo a Mr Brumby. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hoʻololi nā hana o ke alanui i nā ala o Melbourne mai scummy backwaters, i noho ʻia e nā poʻe ʻona a me nā ʻōpala,

Ua koi aku ʻo Mayor Phillip Mayor Janet Cribbes iā Mr Brumby lāua ʻo Mr Holding e noʻonoʻo hou i ka hoʻoholo.

Last year the National Gallery in Canberra purchased its first collection of street art and a Banksy work on a London wall recently sold for £208,000 on eBay.
We should be encouraging legal street art and making a Melbourne a funkier, more interesting place to live in and visit.
