跟进:海恩斯遇袭两天后,又有男子持械闯入澳洲议员办公室被捕

珀斯——据《泰晤士报》、澳大利亚联合通讯社(AAP)与美联社报道,一名 56 岁男子周三下午持"双节棍状"武器闯入西澳大利亚州地方政府部长汉娜·比兹利(Hannah Beazley)在珀斯 Victoria Park 的选区办公室,口头威胁职员,随后被捕。无人受伤,比兹利当时不在办公室,她说职员们受到了惊吓。
男子名叫约翰·劳伦斯·斯马特(John Lawrence Smart),周四在珀斯地方法院出庭,被控以可能致人恐惧的方式持械、非法威胁和持有大麻。其律师称,他所持的可能是打击乐器 claves(木质打击棒),斯马特自称当了 20 年音乐人。法官获悉他有多页精神健康评估、有精神分裂诊断史;法庭拒绝保释,他将于10 月 29 日再次出庭。
就在两天前的周一,联邦议员海伦·海恩斯(Helen Haines)在维多利亚州 Wangaratta 的选区办公室外,被一辆四驱车两次撞击,双腿截肢,目前情况危殆但稳定。嫌疑人布伦丹·纽金特(43 岁)被控多项罪名,还押候审,作案动机尚未查明。警方称,两起事件没有关联。
两起事件相隔仅两天,加剧了澳大利亚对政治暴力的担忧。针对联邦议员的威胁与骚扰报告自 2020 年以来翻了两番。澳大利亚安全情报组织(ASIO)局长伯吉斯去年曾警告,政治动机的暴力风险"已亮红灯",预计将持续到 2030 年。

Second Australian Politician Targeted Days After MP Lost Legs in Vehicle Attack
PERTH — A 56-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday afternoon after allegedly storming the electorate office of Hannah Beazley, Western Australia's local government minister, in Victoria Park, Perth, carrying a nunchucks-like weapon and making verbal threats to staff, the Times, Australian
Associated Press and AP reported. No one was injured; Beazley was not in the office at the time and said her staff had been left shaken.
The man, John Lawrence Smart, appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday charged with being armed in a way that may cause fear, making an unlawful threat and possessing cannabis. His lawyer said the items may have been claves, wooden percussion sticks, and that Smart described himself as a musician of 20 years. The magistrate was given a multi-page mental health assessment and noted Smart's history of schizophrenia; bail was refused and he will appear again on October 29.
Just two days earlier, on Monday, federal MP Helen Haines was struck twice by a four-wheel-drive vehicle outside her electorate office in Wangaratta, Victoria, and both her legs were amputated. She remains in critical but stable condition. Brendan Nugent, 43, has been charged with several offences and remains in custody; police have not established a motive. Police say the two incidents are not connected.
The two incidents, days apart, have intensified concerns about political violence in Australia, where reports of threatening and harassing behaviour towards federal MPs have quadrupled since 2020. Mike Burgess, the director-general of Asio, Australia's national security service, warned last year that the risk of politically motivated violence was "already flashing red" and was expected to remain elevated until 2030.
