“I was subjected to a bit of a Twitter pile on last night,” Ms Sloane told ABC’s Hamish McDonald.
“Dozens of pretty hateful messages, you know, some concerning enough to forward to police as a matter of process.”
Ms Sloane said the messages made her feel “sick”.
“I simply deactivated my account,” she said.
“It’s not about me. These people are vile.
“On the weekend, it was a protest against the Jewish community.
“Before it’s been about the Muslim community. They spew hatred at our Indian community.
“In fact, anyone who is not white, they take offence to (and) they take offence to women as well.”
Ms Spencer is understood to have had a similar experience.
