Former Green MP Golriz Ghahraman subject to 'continuous' threats whilst in Parliament - Shaw

I thought this was incredibly fucked up. Parliament seems like a pretty toxic workplace, but put constant threats in too of that and its not hard to see how it could affect a person.

Shaw said that Parliament was a stressful place for anybody.

"However, Golriz herself has been subject to pretty much continuous threats of sexual violence, physical violence, death threats since the day she was elected to Parliament and so that has added a higher level of stress than is experienced by most Members of Parliament.

"And that has meant, for example there have been police investigations into those threats almost the entire time that she has been a Member of Parliament, and so obviously if you're living with that level of threat in what is already quite a stressful situation then there are going to be consequences for that," Shaw said.
