    Dear Auckland Council,
I am writing to request detailed information regarding acts of vandalism attributed to pro-Palestinian protesters within Auckland since October 7, 2023. Specifically, I am seeking:
1. Number of Recorded Incidents: The total count of vandalism events linked to pro-Palestinian protests during this period.
2. Description of Each Incident: For each recorded event, please provide:
- Date and location
- Nature of the vandalism (e.g., graffiti, stickers, flyers, or other defacement)
- Any available details on the content or messages conveyed
3. Associated Remediation Costs: An itemized breakdown of the costs incurred by the council to address and remediate each incident, including:
- Cleaning or removal expenses
- Repairs to damaged property
