Haines loses both legs, MPs advised to vary travel patterns

Federal MPs have been advised to vary their daily travel patterns, including the route they take to work, as one of a series of precautions re-emphasised during a rolling set of security briefings on Wednesday.

The briefings occurred as Phil Haines, the husband of Helen Haines, announced his wife of 40 years had lost both legs after being deliberately rammed by a constituent in a four-wheel drive while she was unloading the boot of her car outside her Wangaratta electorate office on Monday.
