@RossAndRussel Rumour confirmed - via a Lib Party spokesperson:
The Liberal Party is aware of an incident involving the husband of our candidate for Yan Yean, Amanda Dow, in Mernda on the afternoon of Sunday 25 October.

We understand Ms Dow’s husband approached a member of the public who was removing Liberal Party campaign signage and was allegedly assaulted.
He suffered facial injuries and was taken to hospital and was discharged today.

Interesting new line from Ben Carroll on SRL on @3AW693 just now:
“If Canberra doesn’t put any more money in.. I won’t either.”
Goes on to insist he won’t break contracts.. and will be fiscally responsible..:.
So… 🤷♀️
Federal OL Angus Taylor campaigning w Jess Wilson this morning:
“Ben Carroll can run away from the petrol bowser.. but he can’t run” from the problems Labor has created in Victoria.
Here’s the Premier’s further explanation:

No mention of the petrol drive-off yet..
Ben Carroll speaking at The Age’s Melbourne Assembly event.
Further to this:
He found out after Police contacted Department of Parliamentary Services.
DPS contacted Premier last night.
He went back. And paid up.
👀
Statement from the Premie:
Late Monday night, I was running some errands and filled up the car with petrol.
Found out yesterday I forgot to pay.
I fixed the bill straight away.
Grateful for the team at the servo for their understanding.

Helen Haines is the very best of people. She's respected and loved by every person in our Parliament.
Those of us lucky enough to know her are praying for Helen and her family, team and community tonight.

My heart goes out to Helen Haines and her family tonight upon the news of this shocking attack.
Helen is a hardworking and considerate Member of Parliament.
I pray for her full recovery from this traumatic time.

I am deeply saddened and distressed by the news out of Wangaratta tonight involving Dr Helen Haines MP.
I’m praying for Helen and thinking of her family and loved ones.
This is a shocking day for our nation.
No one should be targeted in this way.
Australians will be angry and appalled by the attack on Helen outside her electorate office in Wangaratta.
Our nation cannot become a place where violent attacks are normalised.
I’ve spoken with the Prime Minister, and we are united in our view that political violence must never be accepted as part of public life.
I hope Helen, her family and her community across north-east Victoria know that Australians right across the country are thinking of them and holding them in their thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

Terrible news coming out of Wangaratta. My thoughts go out to Helen, her family and first responders who attended the scene.
This is horrific.
