Queensland state Labor MP Kim Richards has come forward with further allegations of online harassment by Liberal backbencher Andrew Laming, including a bizarre $100 reward he allegedly offered to help him identify people the MP was seen with in public.

Richards, the member for Redlands, which overlaps with Laming's seat of Bowman in Queensland, told Guardian Australia Laming had published a photo of her accompanied with an apparent slur that she had no reason to be in a kids' park" as part of what she described as a long-running campaign against her.
