A mural commissioned and paid for by a Brunswick business has been deemed by the Moreland City Council as too risqué and the council has asked the artist Mike Makatron to edit parts of the mural.

This is a complete over-the-top reaction. The public is mature enough to deal with the slightest suggestion of sexual behaviour, especially when so skilfully hidden within a beautiful juicy burger.

Business owners should be encouraged to commission and pay for great public art like this and should be rewarded. Council needs to butt out and leave the artwork alone.
