"A lack of resources within the ODPP means that it has received insufficient funding to employ experienced staff. That shortfall means that the Barr government has decided not to accept a request for the necessary funds," writes HUGH SELBY.

![For graphic designer Tracy Hall, street art is like any artwork, her canvas has been swapped out for fences and plywood, her medium changing from watercolours to spray paint.
A Canberra resident for 13 years, Tracy has been a street and mural artist for the past five.
Her first exploration into grand-scale painting was at the Point Hut toilets in Banks five years ago. “They had just finished doing up the playground area for all the little kids and the words [of graffiti] that were coming up weren’t family friendly,” she says.
“So I ended up drawing this design and I got approval for the artwork.”
Many of Tracy’s time-consuming artworks are free, with thousands of her own dollars put into paint.
