rooster59 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Controversial Australian lawmaker 'egged' after comments on New Zealand mass shooting By Will Ziebell Australian Senator Fraser Anning has an egg smashed on his head while talking to the media in Victoria, Australia March 16, 2019 in this still image taken from a video obtained from social media. THE UNSHACKLED/via REUTERS MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australian police said they were investigating after a teenager smashed an egg on a controversial right-wing lawmaker who had blamed New Zealand's mass mosque shootings on the country's immigration programme. The footage, shared widely on social media, showed Senator Fraser Anning being approached from behind at a political event on Saturday, before having an egg cracked on the back of his head. The footage showed Anning appearing to try to hit the person, before that person was dragged to the ground. Victoria Police released a statement saying the incident was being investigated "in its entirety" and that it involved a 17-year-old boy. Anning has received widespread condemnation following comments he made that saying cause of New Zealand's worst peace time shooting was letting "Muslim fanatics" migrate to the country. "(Anning's) conflation of this horrendous terrorist attack with issues of immigration, in his attack on Islamic faith specifically, these comments are appalling and they're ugly and they have no place in Australia," Australia's Prime Minister Morrison told journalists on Saturday. Calls to Anning's electoral and parliamentary offices went unanswered on Sunday. A GoFundMe campaign had raised more than A$19,000 (£10,128.8) for the teenager to cover the cost of legal fees and so he could "buy more eggs" by Sunday and the hashtag #EggBoy was trending on Twitter. Meanwhile, Australia's immigration minister announced on Saturday that controversial conservative speaker Milo Yiannopoulos would not be allowed to enter Australia following Yiannopoulos describing Islam as a “barbaric” and “alien” religion. "Mr Yiannopoulos’ comments on social media regarding the Christchurch terror attack are appalling and foment hatred and division," immigration minister David Coleman said in a statement. Australian Brenton Harrison Tarrant, 28, a suspected white supremacist, was charged with murder on Saturday after 49 people were killed and dozens wounded in mass shootings at two New Zealand mosques. -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-03-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samran Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 What a waste of an egg. This is a bloke who raised the term ‘final solution’ in parliament. Also worth noting that although he might have been justifiying in giving the kid he first smack after the egging, he then went for a second, and then two of his goons jumped the kid.

ezzra Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The crux of the issue here not the man's opinion which personally i don't care for, but an invasion of a personal space and physically attacking someone just because you don't approve of his opinions while filming your attack for credit of some sort, so what now, should we all go to,, say, to parliament house and pelt the politician there with eggs sticks and stones just because we don't like what the say or what their stand is? what are we? animals now? better yet, try to smash a thai politician and see what will happen to you...

I don't condone shooting defenceless people of any belief, anywhere. The poor Christian people of Pakistan, etc. Okay, I will bite. Christian people in Muslim countries didn't 'stumble' upon God and Jesus, they were sold a false ideology and bullshit notion that there is a merciful God, who would forgive them all their 'sins' and allow them into 'heaven'. To make it worse, some missionaries may have really believed this crap but many were there for their own nefarious pleasures. Unfortunately the 'converts' to Christianity were forced to denounce their own religion, alienating them much like lepers in their communities. In many cases subject to violent retribution, cast out of their homes. So yes, we should pity Christian minorities but don't forget it was outside interference by Christians that put them in their predicament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all about a cowardly, red-neck, right-wing intolerant radical Aussie who went across to New Zealand and murdered 50 unarmed people. If he was so anti-Islam, he could have packed his bags and gone to fight in Syria or Iraq etc, BUT they might shoot back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
