Australian MP Helen Haines was deliberately struck by a car in an apparent attack outside her office in Wangaratta, Victoria, on Monday, October 19, 2026. Police arrested a 43-year-old man at the scene and seized a knife, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told the national broadcaster it appeared to be a deliberate act. The incident comes amid a documented rise in threats against Australian politicians — including mailed bullets, firebombed offices, and a sharp rise in reported threats over recent years.
