Helen Haines fights for life after attack
Independent MP Helen Haines is fighting for life in hospital following what authorities describe as a deliberate attempt to harm her, not an accident. The 65-year-old grandmother and former nurse was attacked in what a joint terrorism investigation believes is an isolated incident. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese attended a briefing in Melbourne with the Victorian Premier and police commissioners, whilst tributes flowed from all sides of politics, with colleagues describing Haines as one of the country's finest politicians.
