Coup, take two? RACP faces $200,000 bill for second go at toppling president-elect

First as tragedy, then as farce?

Normally in the world of politics, you only get one chance to make your move, to land the blow that forces out the one on top and brings about a change in management.

Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte and Scott Morrison himself all seized ultimate power at decisive moments where a single mistake could have cost them everything.

But when it comes to the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), you get two goes it seems. 

Despite a combined price tag close to $450,000, there will be another EGM to decide whether to get rid of president-elect Dr Sharmila Chandran.
