澳大利亚议会致敬受伤独立议员海因斯

澳大利亚议会将在复会时暂停议程，向独立议员海伦·海因斯致敬。1海因斯于10月19日在瓦格拉塔选区办公室外遭四轮驱动车撞击，导致双腿被截肢。1她目前在墨尔本阿尔弗雷德医院接受治疗，状况为严重但稳定。1涉案嫌疑人布兰登·纳根特现年43岁。1

事件发生后引发了对议员安全的广泛关注。内阁部长马克·巴特勒表示，议员安全问题在过去20年间已发生显著变化，联邦警察对安全威胁的应对也更加迅速。2澳大利亚联邦警察专员克里西·巴雷特确认区域心理健康护理存在缺口。1政府目标在年底前通过数字责任法案。1海因斯是首位签署政治操守誓言的联邦议员，该誓言承诺"以诚实、尊重和同情心行事"。2为救救儿童基金会筹集的募捐已超过120万澳元。1

Australian Parliament is set to reconvene with tributes to independent MP Helen Haines, who sustained severe injuries in a vehicle attack on October 19.1 Haines was struck by a four-wheel-drive vehicle outside her electoral office in Wagga Wagga and has had both legs amputated.1 She is currently receiving treatment at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne in serious but stable condition.1

Cabinet minister Mark Butler noted that parliamentary security has undergone significant transformation over the past two decades, with federal police responding more swiftly to security threats.2 Haines holds the distinction of being the first federal MP to sign a political integrity pledge, committing to "act with honesty, respect, and compassion."2 The incident has sparked broader discussions about politician safety and the evolving security landscape in Australian politics, with Federal Police Commissioner Crissy Barrett acknowledging gaps in regional mental health care services.1 Fundraising efforts for the Starlight Children's Foundation have exceeded 1.2 million Australian dollars in response to the attack.1 The government has set an end-of-year deadline for passing the Digital Duty of Care Bill, aimed at addressing online harms.1
