The prime ministers of Australia and New Zealand denounced Sunday an Australian senator who struck a teenager who egged him after the politician blamed Muslim immigration for the fatal Christchurch mosque attacks.
The details: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called Sen. Fraser Anning's comments a "disgrace." Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the government and Labor opposition would pass a motion when Parliament returned next month to censure Anning, who hit the teenager twice after an egg was smashed on his head, News.com.au reports.
Controversial Independent Senator Fraser Anning has been caught on camera punching a young protester after the boy cracked an egg on the back of his head at an event in Moorabbin. A 17-year-old boy was arrested and released without charge pending investigation. #auspol #7News pic.twitter.com/lbXLDwfS96
