St Johns ambulance workers say they're still in shock over a white powder scare which left two staffers in hospital.

The powder was discovered inside an envelope at the Surry Hills office.

Investigators have tested the substance and it seems it's a detergent, but the organisation says it can't understand why it was targeted.

Officers have just taken two bags containing evidence from the St Johns Ambulance building on Hunt Street.

Earlier the fire brigade hazmat team removed a package from the building.

Several more police including several detectives have arrived.

It’s still not known what the powder was and whether it arrived in the mail or was planted inside.

Who would wish to attack St Johns Ambulance? I hope it is a hoax, and a good opportunity to test the state governments Hazmat response. I am aware of the insane Islamofascists who view such targets as acceptable, but then so are women and children of their own peoples. Collateral damage doesn't only apply to US army targets.

This is a bit off topic but St Johns have really weird hiring policies, it's very hard to get a job there even if you're technically over-qualified. If it's happened to other people like me, maybe some looney decided to take random revenge. I think it's disgusting, but "job seeking rage" is as much alive as every other "rage" these days.
