Australian MP Haines loses both legs after car attack

Australian MP Helen Haines has lost both legs after being severely injured by a driver in Melbourne. The incident occurred while she was unloading her car at her office. Witnesses reported that the driver trapped her against her vehicle and then hit her again while reversing. Haines' husband confirmed that her left leg was amputated, and doctors later had to amputate her right leg as well. The suspect, Brendan Nugent, faces charges including causing serious injury and dangerous driving. He remains in custody pending a court appearance in February. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of politicians in Australia, prompting calls for a review of security policies.
