Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has sent his well wishes to Helen Haines in Parliament.
Dr Haines is in hospital after allegedly being struck by a car and losing both her legs.
Mr Albanese that he can't wait until she is well enough to return.
"She always engages, always looks you in the eye and never lets up. And she always works on the principle that disagreement only truly functions when it doesn't depart from respect and humanity. Right now, the member of Indi is on the hardest road of all. As we pray for her, we console ourselves with this one solid truth. As Phil (husband of Helen Haines) who I have spoken to daily keeps reminding me everyday. Helen Haines is a fighter."

Election Observer, Sebastian Almarini, says the voting time was extended because of issues with public transport.
"Yes, it was delayed by 2 hours. Actually, voting hours were extended by 2 hours due to the heavy rains, delays and problems that occurred in some states as a result of the suspension of public transportation. I think it is a correct decision and one that has no bias, given that the districts where the suspension and extension were carried out do not, at least at first, benefit any of the contenders."
Police are searching for at least three people after a shooting in Logan, Queensland outside a boxing event.

Chief Superintendent Mel Adams says police are investigating.
"Incident command center is up and running from Logan Central Police Station here behind me. We have an extensive cohort of detectives engaged in this investigation, but I will mention that we are very well supported by the State Crime Command with a range of specialists that are now here on the ground supporting this investigation. And that ranges from detectives to state intelligence experts and ballistics experts."
