New South Wales Agriculture Minister Tara Moriarty has reported misogynistic and violent threats posted online to police following backlash over a wild pig culling program [1]. The threatening comments appeared on the Facebook page of the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party [1].
Moriarty characterized the online abuse as deeply offensive, stating that "some of the comments are extremely vile" [1]. NSW Police acknowledged the matter, with the Sydney City Police Area Command noting they have become aware of social media posts targeting a member of parliament [1]. The minister indicated this is not the first time she has received violent threats this year [1].
Premier Chris Minns condemned the conduct, remarking that "twenty or thirty years ago you would never have seen that kind of abuse; people would have been ashamed by such language" [1]. He criticized the apparent sense of online impunity, stating it is "shameful" that individuals now feel emboldened to post such content without consequence [1].
