Queensland Senator Fraser Anning has sparked controversy once again after blaming the terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka on 'Islamic populations creating violence'.
In a series of Tweets on Monday night, the senator responded to the deaths of nearly 300 people, including Australian mother Manik Suriaaratchi and her daughter, Alexandria, 10, in coordinated explosions on Easter Sunday.
Suicide bombers targeted three churches, three luxury hotels, and a guesthouse, with authorities finding and disposing of another explosive at the airport later the same day.
The tweets mark the second time the politician has used a terror attack to comment on Islamic immigration, following similar statements made after the Christchurch mosque attacks last month.
'I was right all along. Islamic populations do indeed create violence,' he said.

He went on to warn Australians they would suffer for not taking a stance sooner, and implied people should stand up against Muslim immigration for the safety of their children.
'I am WARNING that if we continue to import Muslims into our country we will have more terrorist attacks, as has been proven time and time again,' he said.
'Take my advice if you want to ensure the safety of your children and a future for our nation's people.
'Ignore it, and face death.'
