Cops Investigating Fucked Racist Attack On Indigenous Senator Nova Peris

ICYMI, a racist dickbag has been leaving disgusting comments on the Facebook page of outgoing Northern Territory Labor Senator Nova Peris.

Chris Nelson, a chiropractor from the Central Coast of NSW, spent his Saturday calling Senator Peris “a black cunt” on Facebook (twice) and telling her that she should “go back to the bush and suck on witchity (sic) grubs and yams”.

Senator Peris, rather than simply deleting this comments and blocking Nelson, took a stand against racism instead and posted screenshots to her Facebook page.

Police from the Brisbane Water LAC are now actively investigating an “alleged offensive social media post made to a social media page of a 45-year-old woman”, BuzzFeed News reports (the Duty Officer of Brisbane Water LAC could not be reached). BuzzFeed believes this person to be Nelson.

It comes after a Change.org petition calling for Nelson to be investigated for breaching the anti-discrimination act hit 7,000 signatures.

Nelson, for his part, is claiming to be the victim of a hacker.

“I found out about this about 5:30 on Saturday afternoon when Facebook sent me a notification that someone had spammed my account,” he told the Central Coast Gosford Express Advocate. “I did have an Instagram account, and that vile message had gone out on that account as well.”

“I was clearly hacked. I’m the victim of a really horrible and extremely vicious hacking.

“I’m definitely not a racist. I’ve got friends who are Aboriginal and family who are Aboriginal.”

Well, then. Consider this cased closed. *ROLLS EYES FORCEFULLY*
