The UK-born John Oliver, who hosts Last Week Tonight said on the show that Anning's comments 'might be the worst possible response to what happened'. 9News

"The real cause of Fraser Anning getting hit with an egg is Fraser Anning saying things that prompt people to throw eggs at him," he said.Oliver has taken swipes at Australian politicians - including Senator Anning - before.

The senator's maiden speech to Parliament, in which he called for a "final solution" to Muslim migration, was the subject of an on-air takedown."It's the same reason we don't name babies Adolf anymore," he said. Oliver has also stuck the boot in to Barnaby Joyce after the then-Deputy Prime Minister's relationship with Vikki Campion was made public, noting that Mr Joyce cited his belief in traditional family values in his opposition to marriage equality.The web page now says “a majority” of the money raised will be donated to the victims of the Christchurch attack.

Will's lawyer, Peter Gordon, has told reporters Will has no intention of taking any legal action against Senator Anning, or against his supporters that put Will in a headlock following the egging.

why do we care what a US TV host thinks? He is probably just as left wing as most american media

Time for media to tell the truth and not their own political bent.

They may have been, but that doesn't excuse the assault he suffered. It was premeditated and nasty!

I wonder what Oliver would do if he was 'egged'? Spit the dummy, at the very least, no doubt.

Do we really need John Oliver for a Captain Obvious moment?

John who?

Yeah cause I and everyone else cares what UK-born John Oliver says. 🙄

9NewsSyd You realize you should have said that too. Also Everytime Scumo and LNP crew, one nation Hanson etc spouted their anti Muslim or unemployed or pension rhetoric. It is your responsibility to say when overt racism and hate are being pushed. Which you havent done continually

We should all listen to exactly what Oliver says. He is our moral compass.

From the biggest leftist wnk what do you expect 🙄

Fraser Anning will be censured over Christchurch comments: PM'These comments are appalling and they're ugly and they have no place in Australia. In the Australian Parliament also. And he should be, frankly, ashamed of himself' He hit the lad twice, then his out of control admirers nearly choked him, luckily he had the sense to stay still. How the hell did this man become a senator ? Have we heard from Pauline Hanson yet or is she keeping her head down. I see freedom of speech is physically attacked there too...wonder why he slapped him—ugh cuz the kid deserved it. brat kid deserved it!

PM says Fraser Anning must face 'full force of law' for 'appalling' anti-Muslim commentsPrime Minister Scott Morrison says there should be legal consequences for independent senator Fraser Anning blaming the Islamic community for a mosque shooting. Well maybe you should actually do something about it? I don’t want to hear from Mr.Morrison. I don’t want to watch him deflect this onto Anning, who is but a minor irritant in a flaming fire that the LNP and OneNation have created. Don’t deliver your insincere wisdom from the pulpit of righteousness- I just don’t want to hear it. Garbage. Freedom of speech shouldn’t be denied no matter how awful his opinions are. It’s exposed him for the idiot he is, now the whole country knows.
