To Yatesy.

Q1. Fraser Anning can not be "fired" because he is an elected member of Parliament.
Q2. If saying something racist is illegal, then freedom of speech does not exist in this country.

SR,

With all due respect the teenager committed unprovoked and premeditated common assault against FA and is lucky to get away without a criminal record. FA responding to the assault is given far more latitude, and since the aggressor eggboy suffered no serious injury and was let off with a slap on the wrist, any prosecutor would struggle to make a case.

PS, if the thug is called eggboy, then FA is eggbeater?

Sam Clench tells us on the web that -

"They call Fraser Anning the "accidental" senator.
Just 19 people voted for Anning at the 2016
election. Nineteen."

"He got into parliament anyway gaining a $200,000
taxpayer funded salary and a platform from which
to spew his dangerous bile."

" Üntil this week, many saw Anning as a troubling but
ultimately inconsequential sideshow doomed to leave
the senate at May's election and fade back into
irrelevance."

But his response to the New Zealand mosque massacres
and subsequent confrontation with an egg-wielding
teenager, has earned him notoriety around the
world.

Clever man. I wonder how much the teenager was paid
for the egg-throwing? Or perhaps he's a supporter?

Neil Erikson - the convicted criminal and right-wing
agitator was checking everybody at the door to the
event in which Fraser Anning was to speak. How did
this teenager pass inspection and how come he came
prepared in advance with eggs? Just asking.

It got Anning more publicity, more controversy.
All at the right time.
Co-incidence?
I wonder.

'Or perhaps he's a supporter?'

Of course Foxy all young and old white males fit with your stereotype narratives. He was probably related to Abbott or Trump. I mean some little spoilt brat certainly could not come from the regressives could they?

You mean like the ones who recently demonstrated
for climate-change throughout the cities around
Australia?

Hmmmmm.

As for Abbott or Trump?

How much longer do you think those two will last?
