Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday took the side of the egger, telling reporters: "The full force of the law should be applied to Sen. Anning."

Police allege the boy assaulted the senator with the egg.

The boy's name has not been made public.

Police also said Anning "retaliated and struck the teen twice".
