Police are hunting for vandals who defaced speed limit road signs to read ‘No’ across regional South Australia in another mark of a growing ugliness in the Voice to parliament referendum campaign.
Motorists across the state reported the altered signs, with the 110 speed limit figure vandalised to read “No” in an apparent reference to the campaign, now in its final two weeks before the October 14 vote.
A road sign defaced to read 'No' near Arno Bay on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. Picture: Snapchat The vandalism poses a safety threat to motorists because speed limits in the regions oscillate between 100 and 110 limits. At a rally in Adelaide to launch the South Australia No campaign in September, No supporters were branded as “racist” and “pigs” by protesters.
The Advertiser spoke with 291 voters at five different pre-polling booths spread across Greater Adelaide on Tuesday, with 169 saying they voted ‘no’ and 122 saying they voted ‘yes’ for a 58-42 split in favour of No.
