Footrot Flats mural covered up over copyright complaint

From Checkpoint, 5:53 pm on 23 March 2022

A Manawatū mural of "Wal and Dog" from Murray Ball's Footrot Flats has fallen mighty flat.

It was painted as part of the Manawatū Street Art Festival, but it went up without the consent of the family of late cartoonist Murray Ball. And they're not happy.

Manawatū District Council General Manager of Community Lyn Daly talks to Lisa Owen.
