The teen was just getting Sen. Fraser Anning's help to separate the whites.

Here is the proof that immigration is a complicated thing; Over the years I read this news and comments and I see that most of the nonnative residents of Japan are almost always bashing Japan. So far for adapting to the ways and culture of the country they live in and enjoy the benefits of living in. Now look at the very amplified version of the same disrespectful attitude of the migrants and guest workers in any of the countries where the Europeans are the Majority and one easily gets to became phobic, meaning concerned, scared, but unlike the immigrants themselves, not hateful. There is the big difference between phobia (fear) and hate.

Looks like his fart-lighting circus act still has followers. I thought he’d fizzled out.
I’m all for freedom of speech and he should be allowed to speak. It’s just a pity people can be attracted by this kind of simplistic rabble-rousing.

Muslim immigration is fine as long as they are willing to adapt to Australia’s Culture & way of life.
The problem is, most aren’t. Most muslims want Australia to change for them, & the PC do-gooders allow it.
Thus we now have schools & areas where Christmas & Easter pageants are forbidden, & Muslim students are allowed to leave the room rather than sing the national anthem.

Just a sec! Attacks like this happen because there are racist, bigoted people of all colors everywhere. That said, a large amount of whites don't look at terrorism the same way when it comes from someone of their own color and religion the same way they do when it is done by someone who doesn't.

When this guy brags about being from European roots and decries immigration for all but Europeans, I feel like reminding him that his ancestors may well have been people Europe expelled in chains, as criminals, and that his heritage may not be quite as proud as he would like to think. Just saying. The guy needs to be taken down a notch, then thrown out with the rest of the trash -- and this kid who cracked an egg on his head is a hero, the best part of it being this egg-head Anning will NEVER live down the jokes:
"You got egg on your face again, Anning!"
"You seem upset, Anning. No eggs this morning?"
"Get cracking, Anning!"
etc.
tooheysnew: "Muslim immigration is fine as long as they are willing to adapt to Australia’s Culture & way of life."
Like Anning's? Immigrants are PART of life there, and definitely an element that makes Australia and other nations and cultures great.
"Thus we now have schools & areas where Christmas & Easter pageants are forbidden"
Because they are based on religion, and should not be forced on those that do not follow that religion. Save it for church. You also don't have all students forced to pray to Allah, right, or watch a play or pageant based on the prophet Muhammed, correct? And rightly so.

The 17 year old is a moron, plain and simple. His parents should be ashamed of him. He should be ashamed of himself. The "kid" is too stupid to verbally make a case for his own position on a subject, so he naturally resorts to violence. Probably a result of playing too many uber-violent video games.

I wasn’t aware they could leave the room during the anthem, that’s not really respectful and inclusive!
As far as Christmas and Easter pageants, they have been going on for years in Australian schools but I guess now with our more diverse society and depending on the school they don’t hold them anymore...

I believe it was staged by the journalist.
Why 17 years old kid was there with egg in his hand?
He wants to fame but it will last a few days. It will destroy his life and he will become the sleazy person like other peoples whom have done stupid things in the past for the 15 minutes of fame.

@smithinjapan - it’s only the adults who start screaming religion. Most children just see Santa & the Easter bunny = fun !
