The frightening story of Julie Bishop having her tea spiked by a fellow politician.

As Julie Bishop walked into a dinner in Cambodia with 20 other foreign affairs ministers from around the world two years ago, she looked forward to her conversation with her Cambodian and Chinese counterparts, who she would be seated between.

A dry event, the Foreign Affairs Minister of Russia, Sergei Lavrov, showed some colleagues a flask of Scotch sitting in his pocket, as though he had been anticipating the lack of alcohol.

It was this very man who continued to deceive Bishop.

“I took a sip of tea and spat it out,” Bishop recalled to The Sydney Morning Herald.

“It was scotch.”

As she looked across the room, she realised it was the same man boasting a flask of Scotch who had bribed a waiter to spike her tea with the spirit, as he offered her a wave.

“He’d bribed a waiter to put scotch into my teacup. Lavrov is evil,” she added in the interview.

It is just another way that Bishop was deceived during her time as Foreign Affairs Minister, as fellow politicians undermined her on the back of her gender...
