Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison had a lucky escape after a protester tried and failed to crack an egg on his head.

The 24-year-old protester hit the top of Mr Morrison’s head with the egg, but it bounced off.

The protester, Amber Holt, was carried outside and later charged with common assault and possession of cannabis. The egg was later picked up by ABC journalist Dan Conifer.

He said on Twitter that “it didn’t seem to have been boiled”.

The ensuing commotion after the egg was thrown caused a 70-year-old woman to be knocked to the floor.

Morrison helped Margaret Baxter to her feet and she said she was “very grateful” for his assistance.

Baxter later said she had been knocked over, and that she landed on her hip – but was not injured.

The protest comes a week before an Australian general election, and Morrison called for more civility in the campaign.

“Pardon the pun, but I don’t want to over-egg this thing,” he said. “At the same time, what my concern was, for Margaret and the disregard the individual seemed to have for those others who were in the room.”

“We will stand up to thuggery whether it’s these cowardly activists who have no respect for anyone, or militant unionists standing over small businesses and their employees on work sites,” Mr Morrison later tweeted.AP/PA Images

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
