Egg Throwing

Today, I will share the news about “egg throwing”. When I came to Australia the first time, I heard, every year, high school students throw an egg to an Asian from the car during the school’s graduation holiday. Some people say it’s true, some don’t. I’ve never seen such an act on the street. It might be superstitious. But people throw the egg. Look back the history. It is known for “Bush dodging shoe”. After 9/11, U.S. president George W Bush was at the conference with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki. The journalist Muntadhar Al Zaidi throw his both shoe to the president Bush. He answered in the interview by the Real News “I’m a man of peace, not a man of war, I was exposing the occupation with my pen, however, I didn’t think my pen was reaching the world.” As a consequence of the act, that made people think why the young journalist risked his life to resist the government. Here is another case, so far my favorite politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, who got an egg on the shoulder while walking out to give a speech during his special-election run to replace Gray Davis as governor of California in 2003. His supporters touched him during walking. In a few seconds, he took off the jacket and stepped on the stage. After the speech, Arnie cracked a joke. “This guy owes me bacon now. Because there’s no two ways about it. You can’t just have eggs without bacon.” Love it, Arnie. He stated one more important point. “This is just all part of the free speech. It’s great to see this people here screaming out. Imagine you are in some communist state or some dictatorship, you couldn’t do that. This is why I love this country. Freedom of speech that’s what creates the ultimate democracy. Back here in Australia, last month, the teenager interrupted a press conference by the independent Queensland senator Fraser Anning, who had blamed the terrorist attack on Muslim immigration, by cracking an egg on the politician’s head. Then, Fraser Anning hit the boy’s face, He was knocked down on the floor. Anning’s supporter has been charged with assault for allegedly kicking the boy. In the Interview, he explained his act. “After that tragedy in Christchurch. The world should be supporting all those victims with giving them love and passion. The senator released a statement which was pretty much divisive hate speech, blaming the victims for the attack. And I was just flat-out disgusted.” Egg boy got many support world widely. Got NBA Player Ben Simon’s basketball shoes. Lifetime of supply beer in Canada. Egg Boy founding made a big money for the victims of the Christchurch. If I had any chance to plank One Nation’s senator, I would. Here is Fraser Anning’s comment. “Real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place...Muslims may have been the victims today, usually, they are the perpetrator” This guy has a real issue. They don’t want to leave their country. They were exiled by cause which Iraq war occurred. Think about it. But, the Australian government may have made some problem toward Muslim society. How about Manus Island? When Sharrouf’s children are back? Yesterday, a young woman attempted throwing an egg on PM Scott Morison’s head. But failed. She told to the reporter “[He]Desrved it” This incident reminds you the Egg Boy, but how could she throw the egg to Scott Morison? One lady was slipped on the floor at that time and Scott Morison helped her to stand and cheer her up. His policy might irritate some people but he is not a hateful person. If you want to throw the egg, think about the reason. Do you really need it? What would you say if you are asked? EggThrowing.mp3
