The female protester who allegedly egged Scott Morrison is a tattooed one-time uni student and persistent critic of the Prime Minister.
The woman, who calls herself Amber Paige on social media, allegedly approached the Prime Minister and allegedly smacked him in back of the head on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old was dressed in a red beanie and a 'feminist' T-shirt when she allegedly approached Mr Morrison at a Country Women's Association event in Albury, New South Wales.
She is in police custody.

Ms Paige criticised the PM on Facebook on International Women's Day for saying 'we don't want to see women rise only on the basis of others doing worse.'
She said: 'Be mad. Be mad as hell. Don't let his bigoted views bring you down.'
Her Facebook page said she has studied education at Charles Sturt University and worked casually at Cotton On.
Mr Morrison was mingling with a group of older women on Tuesday morning when the protester launched the missile from close behind him.
The egg skimmed his head and was later found whole and unbroken before the culprit was arrested.
After the egg was thrown, Mr Morrison appeared shocked and rubbed the back of his head as his bodyguards descended on the woman.
Videos circulating on social media showed her being wrestled after the unsuccessful protest.

After being removed from the venue, the protester was seen walking away while clutching a six-pack of eggs.
She ignored questions from reporters but apologised for the woman falling over.
'No that was not my intention. I am sorry for that,' she said.
The young woman was protesting the government's asylum seeker policy of offshore detention.
She told reporters that her action 'speaks for itself.'
'Have you seen his video to Manus Island?,' she asked.
