A far-right Australian senator who blamed the New Zealand terror attack on Muslim immigration just minutes after the killings occurred has now punched a 17-year-old boy after the teenager egged him at an event in Melbourne.
Video footage recorded at the event shows Fraser Anning, an independent Queensland senator, halfway through a press conference when the teenager, holding his phone to get good footage, calmly walks up and cracks an egg over his head. The senator then responds by punching the 17-year-old who seems entirely unphased by the assault, but is then tackled to the ground by Anning’s supporters and held in a chokehold.
