Helen Haines: independent MP in critical condition in Melbourne’s Alfred hospital after being struck by car in Wangaratta – follow updates

A joint counter-terrorism taskforce is investigating the incident, which Anthony Albanese alleged ‘wasn’t an accident’ ‘Deeply appalled’: politicians condemn alleged attack after Helen Haines critically injured Helen Haines, the principled MP respected across parliament What we know so far Get our new political email, free app or daily news podcast It “beggars belief” that Helen Haines would be involved in an incident like this, Victorian National MP Tim McCurdy told ABC’s RN this mornng. Helen is just a lovely person, and I just cannot for the life of me see how anyone could take offence at Helen and have this attitude towards her. It’s just appalling. I mean, all MPs, but particularly regional MPs, we make ourselves available to everybody wherever at any time. And this is what’s so hard to believe: that if you can’t walk down the street in Wangaratta or any other regional town like this with the fear of this going on, it’s just shocking.
