BREAKING NEWS: Helen Haines now serious but stable after attack
Doctors say Helen Haines is now in a serious but stable condition, improving from critical status.
Her husband has confirmed the 65-year-old lost both legs as a result of the incident.
Candlelight vigils were held across Australia last night as communities showed support for Ms Haines and her family.
The alleged attack has sparked fresh concern about the safety of politicians and their staff. Her family has asked Australians to keep her in their thoughts during her recovery.
