CANBERRA, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has returned to his residence, The Lodge, in Canberra after being evacuated for three hours on Tuesday evening due to a security threat.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) confirmed they responded to a "suspected security incident" at 6pm and that the prime minister had returned after completing the investigation.

"A thorough inspection of the protected facility was conducted, and nothing suspicious was discovered," the AFP statement read. The agency added that "there is currently no threat to the public or public safety."

In recent months, threats to the security of the Prime Minister and other Australian federal politicians have intensified. In October 2025, AFP Commissioner Chrissy Barrett created so-called National Security Investigations Teams—new hate crime units to address a variety of threats, including attacks on politicians.
