Racist posters plastered through Sydney

Racist posters, including some that target prominent Muslim Australians, have been plastered around Sydney's inner west.

The posters, which are designed to resemble the popular children's Pokemon cards, depict caricatures of Muslim activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied and TV host Waleed Aly, along with Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young.

Police say they responded to reports of the posters in Marrickville on Tuesday and have urged anyone with information on who made and distributed them to come forward.
