Victoria Police released a statement saying the incident was being investigated “in its entirety” and that it involved a 17-year-old boy.
“ conflation of this horrendous terrorist attack with issues of immigration, in his attack on Islamic faith specifically, these comments are appalling and they’re ugly and they have no place in Australia,” Australia’s Prime Minister Morrison told journalists on Saturday.A GoFundMe campaign had raised more than A$19,000 for the teenager to cover the cost of legal fees and so he could “buy more eggs” by Sunday and the hashtag #EggBoy was trending on Twitter.
