Independent Australian center-left federal lawmaker Helen Haines was critically injured when a vehicle struck her outside her constituency office in Wangaratta, Victoria, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported on Oct. 19. Police arrested a 43-year-old man and recovered a knife from the vehicle, and counterterrorism investigators are assisting inquiries into what Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described as a deliberate attack, though the motive has yet to be ascertained.
