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.
Good to be back with the running group after a couple of ‘OMIs’. Mondays are at Heidelberg…memories of training here at Warringal Park with the U15s for the ‘Bergers. Huge ground. There was an old trotting training track around the outside of the oval back then. 🏃♂️
The new East Ivanhoe Preschool is providing a great education to almost 130 children aged 3 & 4 years. Pleased to open the new buildings thanks to a $3.6mil Labor Govt grant, with Minister for Children Lizzie Blandthorn MP. Thanks @BanyuleCouncil for the teamwork on this project.

Great to catch up with Fr Joe Giacobbe at @FlemingtonVRC today. Fr Joe was a contemporary of my uncle Fr Tom Brophy. I look forward to attending the Racing Fraternity Mass in November post Derby Day with Fr Joe in charge! 🐴
Great to see the rain hasn’t put a dampener on the Gunbower Cup. Local races off but the punters still having a crack. Glad we could get a permit ticked off and keep the show on the road! @Country_Racing @RacingVictoria
