Steggall calls for civility and respect

Independent MP Zali Steggall has called for more respect in times of disagreement, telling ABC that leadership and words matter.

We absolutely need to make sure there is more civility and respect.

Social media is a platform where they can send abuse and threats through direct messages, call my electorate office, or send pretty revolting stuff

It's just quite shocking how disconnected from manners and reality sometimes people get when they launch into their diatribes and make threats.

There's been a lot of money and a lot of effort and a lot of thought going into security here at Parliament House.

I think the vulnerability is actually when we're out doing our job in the community, and that's probably where we need to put the focus.
