Melbourne · Security overhaul for MPs under consideration after Helen Haines attack

The Albanese government is weighing options to give federal MPs bolstered police protection and funded security upgrades for their homes and offices, after the alleged attack on independent MP Helen Haines. Parliament will hold a dedicated session of tributes on Monday, with Haines remaining in critical condition after surgeons amputated both her legs.
