The RACGP has slammed Liberal MP Craig Kelly for continuing to spread coronavirus misinformation by being interviewed by conspiracy theorist Pete Evans.

President Dr Karen Price said it was unacceptable that Mr Kelly appeared on the podcast hosted by the former celebrity chef, who was preying on the public’s anxiety “to peddle false information”.

Mr Evans should not be enabled by anyone, “especially a federal Member of Parliament”, she said.

“I understand Mr Kelly’s argument that he is happy and willing to advance his point of view with any interviewer,” she said.
