Finance Minister Simon Birmingham has called for a safer and more respectful political debate after South Australian Liberal MP Nicolle Flint revealed her intention to quit politics. 9News

Ms Flint announced she won't recontest the next election in an email sent to her constituents last night.

"She faced a very bitter election campaign last time, that she saw appalling behaviour against her," he said. The Liberal MP has had her offices repeatedly vandalism with offensive language and has been harassed on social media by GetUp, Extinction Rebellion and other left-wing groups, Mr Birmingham said.

"I think that the Extinction Rebellion activists and others who have continued attacks on Nicolle and others should have thought about the consequences of their actions," Mr Birmingham said.
