A teenager has been charged after Australian opposition leader Peter Dutton's office was vandalised for the third time during the election campaign.
The Liberal Party leader's office in Arana Hills, Brisbane was splattered in red paint, and covered with posters criticising his stance on a number of issues.
Police say four people seen acting suspiciously at the site in the early hours of the morning fled when officers arrived, but an 18-year-old woman was tracked by the dog squad and charged with causing wilful damage.
Australians vote in an election on Saturday, 3 May, and Dutton has in recent days caused controversy for his comments about ceremonial Aboriginal rites.
The opposition leader has been criticised by some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, including former party colleagues, after saying Aboriginal "welcome to country" ceremonies are "overdone". The short ritual has become standard at public events and recognises traditional land owners.
