The father of a 43-year-old man accused of allegedly attacking Helen Haines and his partner have pledged to work with police and described the incident as “shocking and horrific”.
The independent MP remained in a critical condition on Tuesday after being airlifted from Wangaratta in northern Victoria to Melbourne’s Alfred hospital for emergency surgery on Monday night. She has lost one leg, with surgeons working to save the other.
