Woman takes a crack at egging Australia’s prime minister on the campaign trail
By Siobhán O'Grady Siobhán O'Grady WorldViews reporter Email Bio Follow May 7 at 11:19 AM Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was chatting happily at a campaign event at the Country Women’s Association in Albury, Australia, on Tuesday when, what was that? Oh, an egg striking him from behind.
On Tuesday, though, the egg failed to crack, instead bouncing right off the back of the prime minister’s head like a tennis ball. Looks like the woman who threw it got her hands on a bad egg. My concern about today’s incident in Albury was for the older lady who was knocked off her feet. I helped her up and gave her a hug. Our farmers have to put up with these same idiots who are invading their farms and their homes.
There have been recent tensions between vegan activists and animal farmers in Australia, although it seems unlikely that a vegan’s weapon of choice would be an egg. And while Morrison seemed to indicate that the egg thrower was to blame for Baxter’s fall, the Associated Press reported that Baxter said it was actually a nearby cameraman who knocked her over during the scuffle.
The motive behind Holt’s actions was not immediately clear, although she is due to appear in court on May 27.
