SYDNEY: Australian Prime ‌Minister Anthony Albanese said on Wednesday he did not take his security for granted, after he was evacuated from his residence for several hours following an alleged bomb threat.

Albanese was evacuated from his residence in Canberra late on Tuesday following a security threat, and returned a few hours later after nothing ‌suspicious was ‌found.

Police said there was no ‌ongoing ⁠threat.

“I think it’s ⁠just a reminder, take every opportunity to tell people, turn the heat down for goodness sake,” Albanese said at an event in Melbourne on Wednesday.

“We can’t take these things for ⁠granted.”
