Greville Street Banksy Covered Up

Greville Street Banksy Covered Up by Hellblazer!.
Spotted a Banksy diver in an obscure-ish spot on Greville Street a few months ago. And have now noticed that the owners of the building have covered over it(!!!) This is the same design which adorns the side of the Nicholas Building in Melbourne (which made headlines when the city of Melbourne put it behind perspex) and was painted in several locations throughout Prahran during Banksy's visit to our shores several years ago.

Quite shocked to see it go and I felt like walking into the said building and informing them just what they had done... just to gloat some and see the look on their faces!

the owners of a building near here actually went to the trouble of protecting one which appeared not so long ago on the side of their shop

The same thing happened here Koz by the City of Melbourne. Also the pieces at Revolver are also all behind glass. Been meaning to go back there and get some good shots of them.

They are bad shots, was very, very low light and an event was happening so I didn't get to shoot them right. But I'm hoping to go back and do 'em proper.

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How could they cover over it even if for selfish reasons when its in the papers all the time about how much they are worth. Have u had a word with the owners?
