Over the weekend Australia fell in love with a young lad who has been dubbed Egg Boy.

The seventeen-year-old, whose real name is Will Connolly, egged racist senator Fraser Anning after he blamed Friday’s terrorist attack in New Zealand on Muslim immigration.

The grown man reciprocated by punching the teen twice, before the latter was tackled and put in a choke hold by several other adult men.

After the incident, where the Senator punched him and some men held him in a chokehold, “Egg Boy” was arrested.

“Egg Boy” is going to donate most of the money raised for him towards the victims of the Christchurch mosque attacks.

Will Connolly, who refers to himself as the “Egg Boy“, cracked a raw egg over disgraced Australian politician Fraser Anning’s head.

The egging came after Anning made victim-blaming comments in the wake of Christchurch mosque shootings.

This prompted the creation of a GoFundMe page to raise funds for his legal fees (and more eggs), which has so far raised close to $42,000.

After Connolly was released without being charged, he spoke out on Twitter.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for the first time on Sunday joined the public condemnation of Anning.

Unsurprisingly, the internet is predominantly standing its new hero.

The kids rally for climate change and what the egg boy did proves that young people are keenly involved in politics & care deeply about what politicians are doing. Australian kids are inspirational. They bring hope to us all. And they’ll soon get to vote. #ClimateStrike #eggboy

Happily, I can report that an Italian comrade just messaged me to say that the #eggboy incident is being referred to as “LA FACEOMELETTE” and they request 10,000 eggs immediately for their own domestic use. #auspol

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s an American actor with no knowledge of Australian politics seeking to beat up an underage boy!
