Shades of  John Barilaro and Friendlyjordies.

As reported by News.com.au

Senator Henderson told news.com.au it was “not acceptable for Yes activists to engage in disrespectful and offensive behaviour including branding Voice opponents as (white) supremacists”.

She also said the AFP had provided advice to federal MPs and senators about “harassing, offensive and nuisance correspondence which may include an obligation to report such incidents”.

“I continue to follow that advice,” she said.
