Obviously he's catching a lot of flak over it.

Australian Senator Fraser Anning responded to having an egg cracked against the back of his head by turning around and slapping the perpetrator during a live television interview.
The Queensland senator, who previously called for a ban on Muslim immigration and is currently under fire for blaming New Zealand’s lax immigration policies for recent mosque shootings, was in Melbourne giving an interview to reporters on Friday when a young man started recording, then smashed an egg into the back of his head.
Anning quickly turned around and slapped the individual, who reportedly turned out to be a 17-year-old. Then he did it again before being separated from the altercation by a staffer.
The unnamed teen was subsequently arrested by Victoria police, then reportedly released without charges.
Other footage showed the aftermath, including the teenager being put in a headlock, then later led away by authorities.
“As always, left-wing politicians and the media will rush to claim that causes of today’s shootings lie with gun laws or those who hold nationalist views but this is all cliched nonsense,” the Aussie senator wrote via statement after the shooting.
“The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place.” (RELATED: Christians In Western European Countries Attacked By Jihadis And Flooded With Migrants Are Reportedly Less Positive About Islam)

It’s called swift justice.
I really like this guy
“then reportedly released without charges.”
Therein lies the problem.

Kewel...
Good. The kid deserved that and more. You have to fight back.
That’ll learn ‘im.
Hope it left a mark.
He had no chance to evaluate if it was an acid or chemical attack. His reaction moved to defend himself from further possible damage. He didn’t look at what struck him so there was no intent other than to defend himself from further assault with an unknown agent or device.
Kid going for fame. Notice how he cranks on the video cam just before he eggs him.
Six months in jail for the protestors that hit SF mayor Willie Brown (Kamala Harris trainer) with a pie:

Senator Anning should have knocked his assailent’s teeth out at the least.
Bobby Kennedy let a Palestinian immigrant get that close to him ONCE, and the USA has never been the same since.
Teen was looking for a response with his cellphone. Hope he got a good beat down.
Around here he would probably find out what a double tap is.
if his parents have any sense they will ground him for life
Actually that close and it looks like he missed him!
The kid looks like David Hogg. Hogg said he became an activist because adults don’t know how to “use a f*cking democracy, so we have to.”
He is lucky I didn’t hit him. That was a restrain strike.
Obviously he's catching a lot of flak over it.
Surely one good assault deserves another.
