Sen. Fraser Anning was left with raw egg dripping down his back and the front of his shirt after a teenager smashed an egg on the side of the politician’s head at a Melbourne news conference Saturday.
A far-right Australian lawmaker who blamed the slaughter at two Christchurch mosques on immigration policies that « allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place » literally had egg on his face Saturday.
Sen. Fraser Anning, no stranger to controversy, was left with raw egg dripping down his back and the front of his shirt after a teenager raised his phone with one hand and, with the other, smashed an egg on the side of the politician’s head at a Melbourne news conference.
Anning, in footage that went viral, was seen punching the boy in the face and then taking another swing before the two were separated. The teenager was tackled to the ground.
The encounter occurred a day after the massacre at two New Zealand mosques left at least 49 people dead and dozens injured.
