“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.

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

Seems to be “OK”, relatively speaking.
Hopefully she won’t have a muslim doctor.

I believe she also lost her other leg, so I’m thinking she’s still alive.

That criminal should choke to death on a chicken bone in prison. Aussies are wimps. Noting will be done.
