Pig entrails thrown at MP’s office door
Some time early this morning a bag of pigs entrails was thrown at Labor MP’s Mike Kelly’s front office door in Queanbeyan near Canberra.
On Saturday, Sept 1st,Kelly’s Bega office had Antipodean Resistance swastikas stickers place on his office door, along with stickers on a “Bega Valley Welcomes Refugees” sign and a Council building.
Mike Kelly is the MP for Eden-Monaro. His wife is Jewish.
He told J-Wire: “The series of attacks directed at my electorate offices are evidence of the need for constant vigilance and the confrontation of extremist groups in our country. If the perpetrators think that they will intimidate me into refraining from defending Israel or supporting our Jewish community they are deluded. Actions like this only spur me to greater efforts and commitment.
I have faced much worse threats in my Army career and I will continue to fight racism and ignorance wherever I find it.”
Police are investigating.
This racist, ignorant and illegal incident in Bega targetting a Member of Federal Parliament must be condemned without qualification.
