Politicians rebuke Fraser Anning over comments after New Zealand mosque attack
An Australian senator has been strongly criticised after he blamed the New Zealand shooting on Muslim immigration.
Following the attack, which left 49 people dead at two mosques in Christchurch, Fraser Anning tweeted: “Does anyone still dispute the link between Muslim immigration and violence?”
In a statement shared by an Australian journalist on Twitter, the Queensland senator also wrote: “As always, leftwing politicians and the media will rush to claim that the causes of today’s shootings lie with gun laws or those who hold nationalist views, but this is all cliched nonsense.
