Social media abuse
Senator Craughwell interjected in support. Senator O'Sullivan then warned that anonymous abuse on social media discourages honest political and public discussion and should be addressed.
Right-minded people will not be prepared to stand up and give a decent, honest opinion when they are going to be subjected to the vilest anonymous tirade of abuse. It is also spilling over into politics as well. I am not pointing the figure at any particular party but we should all take note that wise use of social media offers a political advantage and some are better at it than others. My own party has a lot to learn about the use of social media. That use of social media must be reasonable and civilised. I hope the Minister, in her own time, will come before us and debate the issue.
