THE Federal Coalition is calling for changes to existing laws—or for new tougher laws—that would better protect people from cyber-bullying and harassment.

It follows TV host Charlotte Dawson's hospitalisation after she was attacked by Twitter "trolls" for naming and shaming a user in News Ltd publications who had told her to hang herself.
