Police have given the all clear and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has returned to The Lodge, his official Canberra residence, after he was evacuated due to a safety threat.<\/p>\n
SBS News had been told police were sent to Albanese’s house, and he was moved to another location for a number of hours while the threat was investigated.<\/p>\n
The security incident unfolded earlier on Tuesday night, with federal police beginning their response to the alleged bomb threat at 6pm.<\/p>\n
“A thorough search of a protection establishment was undertaken and nothing suspicious was located,” a statement from the Australian Federal Police said.<\/p>\n
“There is no current threat to the community or public safety.”<\/p>\n
Threats to the safety of politicians have escalated in recent months.<\/p>\n
This incident comes after a man was arrested and charged for allegedly throwing a rock and a fake explosive device through the window of Canberra’s well-known Hyatt Hotel last week.<\/p>\n
