South Australian MP threatened with balloons and powder
South Australian Labor MP Jayne Stinson has been targeted with threatening balloons containing yellow powder left outside her electorate office in Adelaide. The balloons bore hateful messages including "I will burn you" and phrases related to anti-tree clearing protests such as "stop the chop" and "save the parklands". Police are investigating the incident, which follows recent attacks on other Australian politicians, with security footage capturing two suspects delivering the balloons at 1.30am on Friday.
