A local resident interrupted Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ press conference in Queensland to ask the government for help following a “horrific” attack on her home.

Chalmers was speaking at a media conference in the Brisbane suburb of Logan when a woman, later identified as Anoushka Arro, said she had a plea for the state’s Minister for Housing Sam O’Connor.

“I recently have been the victim of an absolutely horrific, catastrophic event at my home, where the front gate was ripped off of my property onto the road,” she said.

“I live in fear. I have emailed him. I have tried to get some sort of resolve for the situation I am living under.

“I have counsel who are now assisting [me] but I am not being given anything from the state government.”

Arro, who previously ran as a Logan City Council candidate, claimed tenants of public housing on her street have been harassing her.

She told Chalmers she can’t leave her home because she is so “deeply scared”.

“I want something addressed. I am shaking because I am so fearful and scared,” she added.

“I can’t leave my home, this person has a network of hoons, who drive past my house.”

Chalmers said he was sorry to hear the woman was going through a difficult time.

He asked for a private conversation to discuss the matter and said he would involve local MP for Nudgee Leanne Linard.

“What we’ll arrange is, if we can have a private conversation and get your details, if Leanne (Linard) is your state member, we’ll make sure that Leanne makes that representation to Minister O’Connor’s office in the Crisafulli government, and we’ll follow that up for you,” he said.

“We’re so sorry you are going through this very traumatic period and we will do what we can to represent you and represent your interests.

“Thank you for raising it with us.”

After Chalmers responded to a question from a journalist, the woman was seen shaking and crying.
