Counter-terror police probe after Australian MP Helen Haines hit by car
Original: Helen Haines: Counter-terror police investigation after Australian MP hit by car
Australian federal MP Helen Haines was struck by a car, and counter-terrorism police have opened an investigation into the incident. Haines, the independent member for Indi, is reported to have been hit while the circumstances and any possible motive remain under examination by police. The involvement of counter-terror officers has drawn attention, as it suggests authorities are treating the incident as potentially deliberate rather than an accident.
Why now: Counter-terror police involvement in an attack on a sitting politician makes it a significant security story.
