Protesters have caused thousands of dollars in damage to federal MP electorate offices in New South Wales and Victoria.

Freedom of Information documents show protesters caused nearly $90,000 in damage to the office of federal Labor MP for Macnamara, Josh Burns.

In June, windows in his office were smashed and slogans including "Zionism is Fascism" were plastered on the building in red paint. In a previous speech, Anthony Albanese insisted vandalism of offices does "nothing to advance" the course of democracy. The FOI document also showed there was a "third party objection" to providing the damage bill to one unnamed office.
