Australian Senator Fraser Anning was held back by the security personnel after he punched a young man who was protesting against the comments of the senator regarding the Christchurch mosque terror attacks.
The Queensland senator condemned the actions of the gunman but added that the real reason behind the bloodshed was Muslims migrating to New Zealand. He specifically labeled them as “Muslim fanatics”. This statement started a whole new controversy and made the young man furious enough to throw an egg at Anning during the press conference. The entire episode was captured on phone clearly showing the Senator hit him the young man in his face repeatedly. A security guard stepped in to shield the young man from Anning’s vicious assault.
At the same moment, supporters of Anning tackled the boy and pinned him to the ground. The young man was further beaten and choked by Anning’s supporters.
The statement that was released was less based on condemning the entire event but more on blaming Muslims. He said, “Let us be clear, while Muslims may have been the victims today, usually they are the perpetrators.”
Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison was furious on the comments of Anning. Morrison called his comments “disgusting” and that they have “no place in Australia”.
Anning has been a Senator for Queensland since the 10th of November 2017. He has been criticized by many for his Anti-Islamic remarks. He is unlikely to be reelected when Australian go to the polls.
