'ScoMo's w***e': Liberal candidate and mum-of-two targeted with sexist graffiti after daring to stand for a Greens seat

A Liberal candidate running in a Greens electorate has been targeted by sexist graffiti which labelled her 'ScoMo's w***e'. 

Mother-of-two Lauren Day, 38, is the LNP candidate for the Brisbane electoral district of Maiwar, which has been held by the Greens since 2017. 

The Channel 10 reporter turned politician is campaigning for the Queensland state election on October 31. She revealed on Friday many of her signs have been defaced.

Ms Day posted a Facebook video showing two signs that had been graffitied with paint covering her face, one of which also said 'racist' in red paint.

Another sign vandal had drawn faeces and male genitalia on Ms Day's face, labelling it 'ScoMo's d**k' and labelling her as 'ScoMo's w***e'. 

Ms Day has never met Prime Minister Scott Morrison.  

They had also blacked out her eyes and wrote 'Blind to the truth' and rewrote LNP to read 'PNP: Penis National Party'.  

In her Facebook video, Ms Day said she was 'really upset and disappointed' that her signs and her supporter's properties had been damaged by the graffiti. 

'Fences have now been damaged. This is other people's property. You can see down here for example this beautiful white fence has now got red paint all over it, which we will obviously fix - I don't want this person to be punished,' she said.

Ms Day said her supporters should not be punished for supporting a certain political party as it is anti-democratic. 

'This is not what democracy is. I'm a mum of two kids and I don't think this is the right example for our children,' she said.

'I don't want my children seeing this kind of thing going on in Maiwar. Let's be better than this as an electorate. 

'Don't punish people because they believe in a certain opinion.'  

Ms Day said she has reported the matter to the police. Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ms Day and Queensland police for comment.

The former Channel 10 reporter is married to police officer Matthew Day, with whom she has a daughter Rosie, one, and son Joseph, six.

Ms Day is running against Michael Berkman from The Greens, Palani Thevar from the Labor party and Jacob Rush representing United Australia in the Maiwar electorate.

Mr Berkman has held the seat since the 2017 state election, which is when Maiwar was formed as a merger of the Indooroopilly and Mount Coot-Tha seats.  

This is the Greens' first seat in the Queensland Parliament but Ms Day is looking to take it for the LNP at the next election.

Ms Berkman said his supporters were not responsible for the graffiti and said his own signs had been graffitied with 'homophobic slurs'.

'I'm confident none of our team would be involved in such horrible personal attacks, especially these gendered slurs,' he told The Courier Mail.

'People consistently tell me they're sick of politics and I think childish name-calling only makes that worse, which is why I've deliberately avoided dirty politicking throughout this campaign.

'I really feel for the volunteers who have to deal with this – my own team has spent the week cleaning and replacing Greens signs that were vandalised with homophobic slurs in Bardon. It has to stop.'
