Anning set to hit Coast

FRASER Anning says he is honoured to join right wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos on a high-profile speaking tour of Australia later this year – which will include the Gold Coast – and suspects his controversial maiden speech scored him the invite.

The ex-One Nation senator, whose speech sparked a furious backlash after he referenced Nazi term “the final solution” and all but called for a return to the White Australia policy and a ban on Muslim migration, announced yesterday he would join the tour with Mr Yiannopoulos and conservative US commentator Ann Coulter in November and December.

People will be asked to pay between $79 and $499 for tickets to the two-hour sessions on the Gold Coast, in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

Senator Anning said he intended to speak at all events but would not be accepting payment for his appearances.
