‘It’s very clear that this was a deliberate act’, PM says
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, said Haines’ alleged attacker “did a U-turn in order to get back to where Helen Haines was” after passing her on the road.
It would appear that the driver of the vehicle that inflicted the damage to Helen Haines did a U-turn in order to get back to where Helen Haines was after passing where she was getting things from the boot or putting things into the boot of her car.
So it’s clear that there was a deliberate act here, this wasn’t an accident – someone, you know, just getting off the road here.
