| The man charged with throwing his shoes at Peter Dutton has put out a statement accusing the Immigration Minister of hypocrisy.
Ocean View man David Sprigg, who described himself as a horticulturist, said the action was a protest against human rights abuses against refugees.
"It is hypocritical for Peter Dutton to appear at a festival welcoming refugees when his government continues to lock up indefinitely asylum seekers who have committed no crime, and turn back boats at sea who are attempting to seek refuge in Australia," he said.
Mr Sprigg said he hadn't thought about whether he would fight his public nuisance charge.
