MP always on guard after death threats made her feel 'physically sick'

Key points

  • NSW MP Jodie Harrison says threats left in envelopes at her electorate office nine years ago made her feel physically sick. A man was later jailed for 16 months after police investigated.
  • Harrison now carries out daily risk assessments. Gosford MP Liesl Tesch carries a personal duress alarm after online threats, and Wallsend MP Sonia Hornery says her staff are more on guard.
  • The concerns follow an attack on Helen Haines, who remains in a critical condition. Premier Chris Minns said MPs cannot be wrapped in cotton wool.
