Teen eggs politician. Now he’s being offered free tickets to concerts for life.
It's the egging that's gone around the world.
Bands and festivals have offered a lifetime of free tickets to a teen who cracked an egg into the back of an Australian senator's head, after the politician blamed Muslim immigration for the Christchurch terrorist attack.
The likes of hip hop festival Rolling Loud have offered "eggboy," as the teen has become known, free tickets for life, as have bands like The Amity Affliction and Violent Soho.

"Eggboy" has understandably shied away from the public spotlight since the egging, despite his burgeoning popularity. A video of the teen speaking out after the incident has been making rounds on social media.
"Don't egg politicians," he said. "You'll get tackled by 30 bogans at the same time. I learnt the hard way."
The teen's Instagram account has also jumped in popularity, amassing more than 400,000 followers since Saturday when the incident took place. A GoFundMe raising money for the teen has reached over $40,000. (Later Monday, the teen said he would donate "most" of the money to victims of the shootings.)

Although "eggboy" walked free following the egging, Victoria Police said they would be investigating the incident in its entirety, which includes the retaliation of the senator and other people at the event.
