“What the f*** are you doing dog, get the f*** out of West End,” the unidentified man said.

“Fifty f****** people died in Christchurch does that f****** mean anything to you, you f****** maggot.”

Mr Anning can be heard responding “get going you filthy animal” as another party candidate joins in.

“Three hundred died in Sri Lanka, what did you say about it,” Paul Taylor, who is number two on Mr Anning’s Senate ticket, said.

“You are the prince of cowards.”

Mr Anning drew international condemnation and a parliamentary censure when he said the Christchurch massacre - which left 50 Mosque worshippers dead - was the result of Muslim immigration to New Zealand.

He was then egged by a teenager in Melbourne while on Friday one of his supporters punched a photographer at a press conference in Sydney.

The violence has seen Queensland Police attach a security detail to Mr Anning’s recent public events.
