Independent MP Helen Haines remains in a critical but stable condition four days after losing both legs in an attack outside her electorate office in Wangaratta, as a Save the Children fundraiser in her honour has surpassed $600,000. Meanwhile, Nationals MP Michelle Landry is expected to announce her retirement, paving the way for party leader Matt Canavan to seek preselection for the lower house seat of Capricornia. Labor is weighing bolstered security for politicians, and the government's invite-only election grant program has drawn interest from the corruption watchdog.
