Story summary

Anne Aly, Australia's first female Muslim MP, received 19 death threats on social media following Liberal MP Angie Bell's controversial remarks in parliament. On October 13, Bell called for Aly and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to be "shamed and stoned in the square" over a tax office decision banning credit card payments for tax bills. This comment sparked intense criticism, with Labor figures arguing that Bell’s language was particularly offensive given its historical context of violence against women in some regimes. The ATO's ban on credit card payments has since been delayed until June 2027 after negotiations by Treasurer Jim Chalmers. Aly condemned Bell's remarks as racist and misogynistic, reflecting broader concerns about the use of such inflammatory language in political discourse.
