Australian PM returns home after security scare
Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has returned to his official residence, The Lodge, on Tuesday evening after being evacuated for about three hours due to a reported security threat.
The Australian Federal Police had confirmed it responded to an alleged security incident at 6 p.m. and conducted a comprehensive search of the premises.
Authorities later declared there was no ongoing threat to public safety.
In recent months, Australia has seen a rise in threats targeting senior political figures.
AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett established National Security Investigations teams last October to counter hate-driven and politically motivated threats.
According to officials, 21 individuals nationwide have been charged since the units were formed. (Xinhua/NAN)
