South Australia State Premier Peter: Authorities have announced heightened security measures for the third Ashes Test match between Australia and England at Adelaide Oval, set to begin on Wednesday, after shooting attacks at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

South Australia State Premier Peter Malinauskas confirmed that additional protocols, including the presence of rifle-armed police, will be in place around the venue.

“Given the events that have occurred in Sydney, there will be additional protocols put in place at Adelaide Oval. This is done only as a precautionary measure, but it is appropriate that we are in an increasing sense of alertness just at the moment,” Malinauskas was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
