Helen Haines, the Australian MP struck by a car outside her constituency office in an alleged attack on Monday, has had her second leg amputated, her husband has announced.
Addressing the media on Wednesday afternoon, Phil Haines said: "Helen is alive and she's stable. That is the most important thing for our family."
Surgeons on Monday had amputated Ms Haines' left leg on Monday night after she was airlifted to hospital. The 65-year-old was struck twice by a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV outside her electoral district office in Wangaratta in Victoria.
