CANBERRA, Australia — An Australian senator had a raw egg cracked over his head and faces censure from his fellow lawmakers after sparking outrage by blaming Muslim immigration for the New Zealand mosque shootings. Television cameras caught a 17-year-old boy breaking an egg on Anning’s head and briefly scuffling with the independent senator while he was holding a news conference Saturday in Melbourne. The government and opposition party agreed to pass a censure motion against Anning over his stance on the Christchurch shootings when Parliament resumes in April. Opposition lawmaker Penny Wong accused Anning of attempting to use the tragedy to grab attention ahead of elections in May. Immigration Minister David Coleman said Yiannopoulos’ social media comments are “appalling and foment hatred and division.”Coleman didn’t specify which comments he was referring to.
