Description

Authorities are still tight lipped on the nature of a threat that prompted the Prime Minister's evacuation from his Canberra home last night.

Police searched The Lodge but didn't find anything suspicious.

A Labor frontbencher says it's an extraordinary incident and it's difficult to recall a similar situation.

It's also sparked calls to lower the temperature of debate in Australia, given other politicians have also been subject to threatening behaviour.

Police have been interviewing two men in their 20s who were arrested over the alleged kidnapping and murder of Sydney grandfather Chris Baghsarian.

Authorities believe he was snatched from his home almost two weeks ago by mistake and the intended target was someone else with links to a crime family who lived nearby.

Yesterday human remains were found on the city's north west fringe, that are thought to be his.

And the UN General Assembly has passed a motion calling for peace in Ukraine, as the country commemorates the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion.

Russia's showing no sign of ending its brutal invasion despite international sanctions and repeated peace talks, but experts say its manpower and economy are being strained.
