Obscene letters left at WA government officials' doors

The same note was also left on Midland Liberal candidate Daniel Parasiliti's door, according to a friend, who shared a photo of the note on Facebook.
Ms Phelan confirmed she was one of four Melville councillors who received the message.
Councillors Cameron Schuster, Duncan Macphail and Nicole Foxton also received the note, which has since been passed on to WA Police.
Councillor Phelan said she believed the letters may have been motivated due to the council's support for the proposed wave park development, or its perceived pro-Roe 8 stance.
She said she was happy to pass the matter over to the police, and hoped those who sent it would learn their lesson.
"I found out that I am not the only recipient of this vile action, and I realise that the perpetrator- or perpetrators- are sick, cowardly creatures who do their cause great damage."
The obscene letters come just days after Liberal MPs received bizarre death threats also mailed to their personal home addresses.
Newly elected member for Hillarys Peter Katsambanis was a recipient of one of the death threats, and told WAtoday he expected the letters were sent in order to unsettle his campaign.
The series of incidents has raised concerns about the publication of candidate home addresses by the Western Australian Electoral Commission.
When asked if the recent incidents would prompt a review of the current system, the WAEC refused to say if changes would be looked at, and the publication of addresses was in line with the Electoral Act 1907.
