The Australian Federal Police has arrested three men for “harassing or threatening” officials.
One of the men, a 30-year-old from Sydney, was charged with using a carriage service to harass a federal MP.
“We allege the man shared a menacing message on an encrypted online platform encouraging abuse and hate to be directed towards this MP,” AFP Acting Assistant Commissioner Matthew Gale told reporters.
“We allege the message was sent following the MP’s condemnation of a national socialist network protest in Sydney earlier this month.”
