It was reported that Labe was wearing a badge supporting marriage equality at the time of the attack, however the DJ has insisted his actions were not based on the current same-sex marriage vote.

"I must state in no uncertain terms that this has nothing whatsoever to do with marriage equality," Labe said.

"For all intents and purposes legally I'm remorseful.

"This was nothing to do with the Yes campaign, I'm not a campaigner, I'm a lone anarchist that felt the need to headbutt Tony Abbott because I didn't think it was an opportunity I'd get again."

Both sides of the SSM vote condemned the assault, while George Brandis labelled the attack as a "criminal act".

"This man had absolutely nothing to do with those who advocate for a yes vote in the same-sex marriage postal survey, absolutely nothing," Brandis said.

"He represented absolutely nothing other than he was a person who was prepared to be violent."
