Australia's PM Evacuated After Security Scare at Canberra Residence
Albanese was swiftly removed from The Lodge, his official home, and transferred to a separate secure location, according to an Australian news agency. Federal police units were dispatched to the premises as the situation unfolded Tuesday night.
SBS News first reported the evacuation, though details surrounding the nature of the alleged threat remained scarce in the immediate aftermath.
Authorities moved quickly to contain public concern following a thorough sweep of the property. "A thorough search of a protection establishment was undertaken, and nothing suspicious was located," a police spokesperson said, according to media. "There is no current threat to the community or public safety."
The incident, while ultimately yielding no confirmed threat, highlights the stringent security protocols surrounding Australia's top leadership. No further details regarding what initially triggered the evacuation have been released by authorities.
