NSW Agriculture Minister Tara Moriarty is under fire after violent online threats forced police involvement, following her controversial feral pig eradication program that includes steep fines for non-compliance. Moriarty called the abuse “appalling,” saying it’s escalating and crosses the line, while Premier Chris Minns condemned the vilification and blamed social media’s role in enabling impunity. Police are investigating social media posts, and a politician who previously labeled public backlash as “vitriolic” now says such content is unacceptable and will be reported if confirmed — though they initially denied awareness of specific misogynistic and violent comments. Moriarty stressed officials must better monitor their online presence.
