Three men have been arrested by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) after allegedly threatening federal MPs and public office holders.

One is neo-Nazi and National Socialist Network member Joel Davis, who has been charged by the AFP's National Security Investigation team with using a carriage service to encourage hate towards a federal MP.

In a Telegram message last week seen by the ABC, Mr Davis invited members of a group chat to "rhetorically rape" federal independent Wentworth MP Allegra Spender.

At the time, Ms Spender said she was "not easily intimidated" but was "shocked" by the comments and had referred the threats to the AFP.

A 29-year-old man from Tamworth has been issued with a court attendance notice for allegedly sending threats online to an "Australian high office holder".
