Victorian MPs want election security boost
Victorian state politicians have pleaded for increased security, in response to death threats and abuse that have made some MPs reluctant to attend pre-polling centres when they open in four weeks' time.
The ABC understands Premier Ben Carroll will meet with the Victorian electoral commissioner today to discuss security arrangements in the lead-up to the state's November 28 poll.
It is also understood the premier has called a special cabinet meeting to discuss safety concerns with elected members in the wake of Monday's attack on federal MP Helen Haines.
The ABC has spoken to more than a dozen state parliamentarians from across the political spectrum who all reported threats to their safety and that of their family, staff and volunteers.
Most wanted security to be ramped up and for state parliament and the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) to do more to protect them, warning that the tenor of debate was having a chilling effect on democracy
