A female politician has shared the vile threats of sexual assault and violence she received when she fought against a gun advertisement in the lead-up to Christmas.

Queensland Environment Minister Leanne Enoch complained about a billboard from Gun World Australia, which went up in November last year and depicted a woman holding a gun with the slogan 'Santa knows what you really want for Christmas'.

'It does not reflect the kind of community we want to live in — one that is free of guns,' she said.

She launched a petition to remove the billboard, which she said 'diminished the value, the importance of gun ownership'.

It was then that the disgusting threats on social media began, ABC reported.

'Let someone break into your house and rape and kill you,' one person said.

'Remember that while being raped,' another said.

'Someone shoot this bitch.'

Ms Enoch was Queensland's Small Business Minister at the time.

'Gun safety is a serious matter and I don't think this billboard has a place in our community,' Ms Enoch wrote on Facebook in November 2017.

'That's why I'm calling for it to be removed immediately.'
