Campaign posters of Josh Frydenberg have been defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti.
Vandals have drawn Hitler moustaches on images of Mr Frydenberg’s face as well as scrawling the words “right wing fascist” and drawing a pair of devil horns.
My Frydenberg is Australia’s first Jewish Treasurer.
Mr Frydenberg said the vandals should be ashamed of themselves.
“Regardless of one’s political persuasion, vandalism is unacceptable,” he said. “These people should be ashamed of themselves.”
“It’s one thing for these cowards to graffiti a sign, but it’s another thing altogether to invoke the horrors of the Holocaust and the evils of Hitler and the Nazis.”
The battle for the Kooyong is heating up with high profile ex-Liberal member Oliver Yates running as an independent, human rights lawyer Julian Burnside running for the Greens, and Jana Stewart running for Labor.
Dr Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission said the graffiti was an attack on democracy.
“We decry in the strongest possible terms these actions for what they are: a cowardly and hateful attack on our democracy and on our values,” he said.
“It is sicking and chilling that seven decades after the Holocaust Jewish members of our community continue to be targeted by vilification and Nazi imagery.”
“We urge leaders across the political spectrum to voice their outrage at this vicious and obscene assault against an elected representative and to say that such abhorrent conduct will never find a home in our nation.”
