4. Australia's 'egg boy' will donate money raised to Christchurch victims
A GoFundMe page was set up to raise funds for the legal fees of Will Connolly, known as "Egg Boy", after the 17-year-old cracked an egg on Senator Fraser Anning's head at a press conference. Anning came under blistering criticism over tweets on Friday, including one that said, “Does anyone still dispute the link between Muslim immigration and violence?” Egg Boy will now donate most of the money raised to the victims of the Christchurch mosque attacks, reports The New Zealand Herald.
