ACT: Attacks on Kim Sattler

In an interview with the Sunday Canberra Times, the UnionsACT secretary Kim Sattler said she had solid support around the country following criticism about her involvement in the tent embassy unrest but was worried about "parcels on my doorstep" now a white supremacist group knew of her unlisted address.

"These people are very dangerous," Ms Sattler said.

"The letter I received was stomach churningly disgusting - crazy, lunatic, racist.

"It uses the words 'coon' and 'boong'. It attacks Jews."

The Australian Federal Police confirmed it was looking into the case after being told about it last Monday. A spokeswoman said the AFP was considering whether to investigate the anonymous hate mail.

Ms Sattler would not describe the way the letter threatened her.

"It's with the police now," she said.

She said the letter did include a copy of the White Australia policy.

Ms Sattler has received hundreds of messages of support.
