Enrico Von Felten confessed he was the man who threw an egg at Prime Minister Julia Gillard as she was entering the ABC studio in East Perth about 9:10am in the morning last month. Although the 55-year-old Perth man threw the egg from less than two meters he still missed the Prime Minister but hit the female WA Police officer.
The man who is believed to be a businessman not happy with Labor government policies relating to wages was in the nearby cafe close to the ABC studio entrance before he threw the egg at the Prime Minister.
The man avoided the jail but was fined $1200 for throwing the egg at Julia Gillard with $119 court costs and $23 for dry cleaning costs for female officer’s uniform. One person made an online comment about him that, “he should be given a medal” for it, while another said he should be jailed “FOR MISSING.”
