A swathe of chemical specialists, police, ambulance and firefighters appeared at the electorate office of Western Australia (WA) Premier Mark McGowan on Tuesday in response to the discovery of a package filled with an unknown white substance.

The item was seized and taken to the WA Chem Centre for analysis, with preliminary testing indicating the substance to be innocuous.
