“Reversed and drove back into her another three times”
Brendan Nugent, a leftist environmentalist Australian activist who spent a lot of time ranting about Gaza and Trump, who appeared to have enough sway to be followed by multiple Australian parliamentarians, including the woman he ran over, and Australia Green leader David Shoebridge, committed a horrifying crime.
He ran over MP Helen Haines. Then he backed over and ran her over some three times. The older woman lost one leg and may lose the second one.
the alleged attack saw a vehicle conduct a U-turn to ram Haines against a vehicle, before reversing and hitting her a second time. Eyewitness Cody Lepoidevin, who works across the road from where the alleged attack occurred, says he saw Haines get hit multiple times.
“We thought he was trying to run away, but he then reversed and drove back into her another three times before trying to flee,” he told reporters.
The Australian media immediately jumped into action to blame
1. Conservatives
2. Misogyny
Shortly to be followed (not at all coincidentally) by the same fallback strategies of…
3. Mental illness
4. Drugs and alcohol
Meanwhile the media is working hard to make this sound like it had something to do with conservatives and with some general hatred of women.
MP calls out ‘radio shock jocks’ for ‘aggression and anger’ after Helen Haines ‘attack’ – Yahoo News Australia
Yup. It’s the ‘radio shock jocks’ at issue here.
Wellington says
Query: Is there a finer example of willful ignorance and stupidity in our time than that displayed by the Western media?
Yes, there are certainly other “contenders” but I think it arguable that the Western MSM is the winner here because were it truly informed, stalwart and ruthlessly objective then other “contenders” such as many politicians and academics would not get away with all they do.

Did Helen Haines survive? The above article wasn’t explicit on that
Rarely528 says
Seems to be “OK”, relatively speaking.
Hopefully she won’t have a muslim doctor.
Greg says
She lost both her legs!
somehistory says
I believe she also lost her other leg, so I’m thinking she’s still alive.
carpediadem says
She did survive but both of her legs have had to be amputated.
She is apparently loved and respected in her community but pushed all the usual anti Israel lies like illegal, apartheid etc.
On her website, the FIRST item on her page of policy/where she stands on issues is Israel/Gaza, followed by local and Australian issues.
Leftist ABC callers on the day after the incident whined and almost literally were in tears about “violent rhetoric” from party One Nation’s Pauline Hanson – who had nothing to do with it – , the verbal abuse endured by women politicians, a sudden concern for “political violence”, excluding any mention of Jewish politician Josh Burns’s office being firebombed post Oct 7, and the immediate roundup of all counter terrorism /police forces by the proPalestinian Prime Minister, who did NOT rally the counter terrorism forces until well after the Bondi massacre.
The two threats says
Helen Haines has had both of her legs amputated. She is in a critical, but stable situation.
If she pulls through, she will require months, if not years of rehabilitation.
She was a keen, amateur runner. She’ll never do that again.
If she survives, her life will never be the same again.

Thanks for the responses, Rarely, Greg, somehistory, carpediem and The two threats
Homer Bedloe says
That criminal should choke to death on a chicken bone in prison. Aussies are wimps. Noting will be done.
The two threats says
The alleged perpetrator has been arrested and charged. He will face the legal processes of the democracy in which he lives.
In what way is that Australia doing nothing?
Greg says
They left that part out of the story!
somehistory says
“An Australian politician has been threatened with nunchucks days after an MP lost both her legs in a car-ramming.
A 56-year-old man has been charged after he allegedly entered the Perth office of Hannah Beazley, a Western Australian state government minister, carrying the martial arts weapon.”

The left-wing Green terrorist party should be banned as a subversive cult and Anarchist group.
Tim gallagher says
The man who attacked Helen Haines sounds like a lunatic, probably a schizophrenic and also a big drug taker from the media reports. He lived on his own on a farm owned by his father and all his neighbours were scared of him and had complained about his playing incredibly loud music and yelling and screaming like a lunatic. It interested me to hear that he, very mentally ill, was big on climate change and also he had the trendy anti Israel attitude as well. Off on another planet.
David M says
The various governments of Australia have a lot of blame here. We used to lock the crazy people up in mental hospitals, then the governments in their wisdom decided to close them all down a while ago. Now all the crazies are out on the street, any of them can go & do go off at a random time.
The federal government thinks it’s a good idea to spend 350 billion on getting nuclear submarines. Things like keeping people safe from the crazy people? Not very important to them.
Tim gallagher says
That’s true, David m. The people that that schizophrenic murdered at Bondi junction shopping centre would be alive if the murderer had been locked up. From memory, I think his parents had warned authorities that he was a danger. On defence spending, I think Australia and all other countries in our region are going to helpless against China, the big bully.
