Woman goes viral after throwing big sex toy at politician during press conference

The woman threw the sex toy at politician, Steven Joyce, laughed and smiled as she was led away by security guards.

She yelled out 'that's for raping our sovereignty' as she threw the object, possibly a reference to the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, which was just signed in New Zealand's capital, Wellington.

Social media had a field day with the incident, which started trending on Twitter on Friday afternoon under the hashtag #dildogate.

The New Zealand Herald ran an article on the incident leading with the headline 'Steven Joyce to go down in history as Dildo Baggins'.

Responding to the incident, Mr Joyce agreed it had been 'a bit of a shock' and said 'it's fair to say those I don't think those sorts of things happen every day'.

When asked how he was feeling about it he said: 'oh, its fine, a little bit surprised but we actually... thought it was a little bit humourous at the end of it all... New experiences in politics every day. It's the privilege of serving.

He appeared to be making light of the situation, even tweeting 'someone send the gif [of the video] to [U.S. comedian] John Oliver so we can get it over with'.

Politicians have had a range of items thrown at them, including golf balls, eggs, mud, dead fish and vegetables and recently tomatoes.
