The 17-year-old boy who smashed an egg on the back of Senator Fraser Anning's head has been honoured with an enormous mural in a Melbourne lane way.
Will Connolly, from Victoria, was behind Mr Anning at a Conservative National Party Meeting in Melbourne on Saturday afternoon when he egged the senator.
Hosier Lane in Melbourne has become a famous tourist attraction in recent years as artists regularly paint over old murals and showcase their talents.
The newest addition to the street appeared overnight and is a painting paying homage to the very moment Will filmed himself cracking an egg on Senator Anning.
The artwork is believed to have been painted by regular Hosier Lane contributor, Van T Rudd - the nephew of former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

After the incident, the schoolboy was grabbed around the neck, tackled to the ground and restrained by up to five men.
The incident was captured in confronting footage showing the teen being arrested and later removed from the premises.
Since the video went viral, a GoFundMe page has been set up to pay for the teenager's legal fees and 'to buy more eggs'.

'Our hero EggBoi takes on Fraser Anning, the senator for Queensland that is now despised around the world for comments made after the shooting at a New Zealand mosque,' the GoFundMe page says.
The page has far exceeded its original $2,000 goal with more than 14,000 shares on Facebook and more than 1,400 people donating to the cause.
It has since reached over $40,000 and is still climbing.
'I have spoken to EggBoi (Will) on the phone a short while ago and he is committed to sending a majority of the money to the victims of the Christchurch terrorist attack. I will keep you all updated with how everything pans out,' an update on the GoFundMe page says.

Since the video of the egging went viral, the teen has seen his online following soar and gained recognition from a number of prolific Australian bands.
Bands and music festivals have expressed their admiration for the teen's actions on Twitter.
Several Australian music groups have offered the 17-year-old free concert tickets for life, including Hilltop Hoods, The Amity Affliction, The Living End and Violent Soho.
'Egg Boy, you have free entry to any Hoods show for life should you wish,' Hilltop Hoods wrote on Twitter.
'If Egg Boy likes Amity he can have free entry +1 to all of our shows forever,' Joel Birch from The Amity Affliction posted.

'Holy s**t, he full smacks him with a lefty and egg boy just cops it and keeps filming. Cool as ya like mate, what a legend! Egg boy has guest list for life. Hell, he can be our official photographer too... Love you egg boy!' Violent Soho tweeted.
'This kid is welcome at any TLE show. Anytime. Anywhere. In egg boy we trust,' The Living End wrote.
He's even received the offer from some groups in the United States, such as American hip-hop festival Rolling Loud and indie folk band The Mountain Goats.
'Someone put us in touch with Egg Boy because we want to give him free tickets for life,' Rolling Loud wrote.
'Guest list for life for there #eggboy,' The Mountain Goats said.

After he was wrestled, and some Anning supporters even held him in a choke hold, the boy was then led away by police

Twitter has erupted with praise of Egg Boy with many creating 'fan art' to show they stand with the 17-year-old

The teen even has backing from high-profile criminal lawyers, including Adam Houda, who has publicly stated he will represent him in court free of charge
Since the video's circulation, Adam Houda, a high profile criminal lawyer who has defended men charged with terrorist-related offences in the past, is now demanding Mr Anning face charges.
On Twitter, the lawyer said it was a clear case of assault on a child.
'I've just seen the footage of the Fraser Anning egging. Anning reacts by assaulting the young man. The police are now obligated to charge Anning,' he tweeted.
Mr Houda, who is the former lawyer of Sydney Lindt Cafe siege gunman Man Haron Monis, has offered to represent the teenager free of charge.
'The video evidence is clear. Anning has NO defence. I'll be monitoring the situation carefully.
'I've never chased a client, but I've put it out there that I'm happy to help him (pro bono) It's now up to him and his parents.'

Victoria Police released a statement saying they are continuing to investigate the incident 'in its entirety' including the actions of Mr Anning and others.
Disturbing footage has also emerged showing Mr Anning's supporters holding the boy to the ground in a choke hold as others taunted the teen.
'You are nothing but a weak f****** human being,' a man could be heard saying.
The egging came a day after Mr Anning released a statement where he blamed Muslim immigration for the terror attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand on Friday, where 50 people were killed.
'The real cause of the bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place,' his statement said.
He faced wide-spread backlash following the release of his statement.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
