Dr Kerryn Phelps calls out ‘political intimidation’ after dead rat sent to her practice
The former AMA President’s Sydney clinic was evacuated by police after a suspicious package arrived
Dr Kerryn Phelps says she may be the target of an intimidation campaign after she was sent a parcel containing a decomposing dead rat.
The former AMA President and Federal MP says the package with a “horrendous smell” arrived at her Sydney practice on Monday afternoon, sparking a hazmat alert.
Staff immediately called police, who evacuated the practice for over an hour, along with four fire crews.
The practice has now re-opened and while the sender left no note, Dr Phelps says she believes it may have been a political message.
