I am deeply appalled by this violent attack on Helen Haines.
My thoughts - and the thoughts of all Victorians - are with Helen, her family, her friends, her colleagues and her community.
I know how devastating this will be for the Wangaratta community and all those who Helen represents.
Thank you to police, paramedics, firefighters and witnesses for their immediate response.
An individual has been apprehended and I thank Police for their swift action.
When you're paying for the train five days a week - the cost adds up.
That's why Labor will cap public transport fares at $30 a week, saving regular commuters more than $1,400 a year.
This is real cost-of-living relief we'll deliver for two years, starting 1 Jan when half-price fares end.
Concession holders save too, with fares capped at $15 a week – and kids are still free.
And for people who have to drive, we'll cap tolls at $30 a week for 2027, saving you up to $5,000 a year.
With Labor's $30 caps, you won't pay more than $30 a week for PT – or $30 a week in tolls.
With fuel prices rising again, we know tolls are a cost of living pressure for Victorians.
That's why we've got a plan to cap tolls at $30 a week.
CityLink, EastLink or West Gate Tunnel - car, ute, van or motorbike.
You won't pay more than $30 a week with Labor's toll cap.
And you can save as much as $5,000.
This is real cost-of-living relief for 2027 - only under a re-elected Carroll Labor Government.
Cost and where you live are the biggest barriers for women trying to access an abortion.
Ben Carroll and Labor will fix that.
Because abortion care is healthcare.
And your right to healthcare should not depend on your bank account or your postcode.
We'll make sure that the minerals royalties generated in regional Victoria stay in regional Victoria.
Only under a re-elected Carroll Labor Government.
Independent analysis by The Australia Institute shows Jess Wilson's plan for our economy would see nearly half of all public sector jobs cut.
It would devastate our frontline services, from health and education to police and emergency services.
That means longer wait times, nurses sacked, hospital beds closed.
These are real policies put forward by Jess Wilson's Liberal-One Nation Coalition.
Jess Wilson cuts, and you pay the price.

Jacinta Allan has fought for Victorians every single day.
For 1,036 days, Jacinta gave the job everything to make life easier for working families and to make our state stronger.
The impact she has had is enormous. 92 level crossings are gone. The Metro Tunnel is open. The West Gate Tunnel is finished. 121 new schools have been built. There are more nurses in our hospitals, ambos on the road, and police on the beat.
Thank you, Jacinta.
Jess Wilson and the Liberals can’t win without One Nation.
Together, they’ll cut hospitals, sack health workers and Americanise our public health system.
We can’t risk it.
These cuts have to come from teachers, nurses and frontline services Victorian families rely on.
This is just the beginning - under the Liberals Jess Wilson cuts and every Victorian pays.
