Sandwich hurled at Australian Prime Minister

A sandwich has been thrown at Australian Prime Minster Julia Gillard during a school visit in Queensland.

The Australian Prime Minister was stopping into Marsden High school near Logan in South-east Queensland, when she was mobbed by students.

Teachers were reportedly trying to gain control over the unruly crowd, as some kids began yelling abuse at Gillard.

One student on a footpath yelled 'loser' at Ms Gillard, while the mob 'went crazy' according to News Ltd.

It was at this point a sandwich was reportedly hurled at the Australian PM.

Local Parents & Citizens President Michelle Campbell told News Ltd she was 'disappointed' in the kids' behaviour.

"It was complete chaos," she said. "But kids will be kids".

The Australian PM didn't seem to mind, tweeting several photos of herself interacting with the students, without a flying sandwich in sight.

Ms Gillard was at the school for Australia's Biggest Morning Tea for cancer research and patient support.
