Angus Taylor and Barnaby Joyce reject calls for change in parliamentary practice to cool political debate
Anthony Albanese has led tributes to Helen Haines a week after the Indi MP was allegedly the target of an attack outside her electorate office, praising the independent as “a fighter” with a deep love of her community.
Federal parliament paused on Monday for speeches about Haines, her husband, Phil, and her staff as she remained in a serious but stable condition in Melbourne’s Alfred hospital.
