Teenager who egged far-right senator will donate crowdfunding money to Christchurch victims
A teenager who egged far-right Australian Senator Fraser Anning after he made offensive comments about the victims of the Christchurch terrorist attack has said he will donate most of the money raised to cover his legal fees to the victims of the massacre.
A GoFundMe page set up to raise funds for “legal fees” and “more eggs” has thus far raised more than AUD$47,000 . The page explains the target is AUD$50,000 in honor of the 50 people killed at two Christchurch mosques by gunman Brenton Tarrant, who is an Australian citizen. The New Zealand Herald reported that Connolly now intends to give most of the money raised to the Christchurch victims. The newspaper spoke with the person who set up Egg Boy’s GoFundMe page, who explained “he is committed to sending a majority of the money to the victims of the Christchurch terrorist attacks.”
On Sunday, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern added her voice to the condemnation, the Herald noted. Asked by a journalist what she thought of the comments, Ardern replied, “They're a disgrace.”
