The defaced billboard outside St Matthew in the City.
Vandals have again targeted the billboard outside Auckland's St Matthew in the City.
Someone has taken exception to the church's Easter message and defaced the billboard.
It is not the first time one of St Matthew's billboards has been vandalised. A controversial image put up at Christmas, depicting Mary and Joseph in bed, sparked complaints and was attacked four times.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) subsequently ruled that the Christmas billboard outside the church was not offensive.
