SEVENTY-EIGHT year old Bill Bradbury is spitting chips after the WA public transport authority slapped a sign over a CHOGM artwork at the Esplanade bus port.

Mr Bradbury says the “beautiful mural” brightens the concrete bus station and is the talk of people sitting on buses waiting to trundle out the station. He says the PTA could have put the sign on a nearby empty wall.

“I’m glad the PTA don’t have the cleaning contract for buildings in Rome,” he quipped.

“I use the bus port on a regular basis to go down to the university and the nature mural cheers me up. People are constantly talking about trying to make Perth more colourful and vibrant and the PTA do something like this—the legacy of the CHOGM is definitely starting to fade.”

The Voice contacted the PTA, but spinner Laura Tomlinson says they’d need more than 24 hours to get back to us.
