Sports Minister Anika Wells closes Brisbane electorate office over alleged security incident
A 47-year-old woman has been charged with public nuisance after an alleged security scare at Sports Minister Anika Wells's Nundah office in Brisbane. The woman is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on November 26, and the office remains closed while security is upgraded. Wells said staff deserve to feel safe at work. The incident follows the alleged attack on Indi MP Helen Haines, who remains in critical but stable condition after surgeons amputated her legs. Across Australia, politicians are receiving security briefings.
