Part of Australia's Parliament House in Canberra was shut down Tuesday after a suspicious package filled with white powder was discovered on a loading dock.
Parliament House officials say the powder was later found to be harmless, and that no one in the building was at risk.
This is fourth time this month that suspicious packages have been found at Parliament House.
Several foreign embassies in Canberra have also received packages filled with white powder in recent weeks, beginning with two separate incidents involving the Indonesian embassy. Authorities have tied the Indonesian incidents to public outrage over an Australian woman convicted of smuggling drugs into Indonesia's Bali island.
