A doctor has been suspended for six weeks after writing on an online forum that a woman should “be abandoned in India and repeatedly raped”.

The emergency medicine registrar was initially reported to the Medical Board of Australia for a series of comments he made on a technology website based in Singapore called Hardware Zone while he was working at Royal Hobart Hospital in December 2016.
