Spitting, stalkers, and death threats: a ‘routine’ part of being a politician, say MPs

There's a growing toxicity against public figures. Harassment and hate have been on the rise against federal MPs for years now. MPs have been harassed, threatened, stalked, sworn at, accosted, spat at, and worse. Many MPs have formed informal support groups across party lines to share their stories.
