Earlier in the day, Albanese recorded an hour-long interview with journalist Karl Stefanovic at The Lodge.

Last week, Mr Albanese urged Australians to “turn the temperature down” following a major defence event in Canberra that was disrupted by police-investigated incidents. 

Hundreds of attendees at the ADM Congress were evacuated after a suspicious package was discovered.  The bomb squad was then deployed to the scene. 

During another address, a rock was thrown through a hotel window causing a scramble for the exits. 

The evacuation of The Lodge comes amid heightened concerns about threats directed at elected officials across Australia.
