If the CFMEU’s anti-457 visas billboard on the side of his building gave federal Perth Liberal candidate Darryl Moore a headache, this one’ll give him a migraine.

No sooner had the union billboard gone up than it was being pasted over—with a big poster of Mr Moore’s ALP rival, Alannah MacTiernan.

Attempts to get Mr Moore’s comments were stymied by the Liberals’ media control-freakism (which so far includes banning Liberal candidates in multicultural seats from attending community forums).

Liberal media wrangler Joey Armenti asked that we email questions about the billboard but we said we wanted to speak to Mr Moore like a real live human being. We never heard back.

As for the tactics of whacking her giant face on the Liberals’ building, Ms MacTiernan merely says, “all’s fair in love and war”.

She quips Mr Moore has taken up so much advertising space around the city her campaign team was left with few options.
