Rolo Mestman Tapier (1 July 1945 – 3 December 2007) otherwise known as Lord Bloody Wog Rolo was an activist and colourful eccentric Sydney identity. He initially achieved notoriety for his anti-monarchist statements and activities[1] and became one of the early members of BUGAUP (Billboard Utilising Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions).[2] His provocative and sometimes confrontational manner, particularly with police, saw him detained or arrested on minor charges a number of times.[3][4]
