Australian independent MP Helen Haines remains in critical but stable condition after both legs were amputated following an alleged deliberate vehicle attack in Wangaratta, Victoria. Police say Haines was unloading items from her car outside her electorate office when a driver allegedly turned back and rammed her into the vehicle. Bystanders detained the driver until officers arrived, while Haines was airlifted to Melbourne for emergency surgery. A 43-year-old man has been charged with several offences, including intentionally causing serious injury. Police are still investigating the motive and whether the incident was politically motivated. The attack has renewed concern about threats and harassment faced by Australian public officials.
