A man charged over an allegedly threatening incident at the electorate office of Western Australian Labor MP Hannah Beazley has told a Perth court he was holding a musical instrument, not a weapon. The case has drawn attention as it involves alleged threats against a sitting state politician, with the accused disputing a key element of the prosecution's account at his court appearance.

Why now: The unusual claim that the alleged weapon was actually a musical instrument makes the case against a sitting MP noteworthy.
