'Inappropriate': leader accused of politicising tribute

Key points

• Greens leader David Shoebridge has accused Opposition Leader Angus Taylor of exploiting a parliamentary tribute to MP Helen Haines for political gain. Haines, 65, is a double amputee after an alleged ramming by a four-wheel-drive.
• Taylor spoke about far-right extremism and political debate during the tribute, which Shoebridge called deeply inappropriate while the investigation continues. Independent MP Zali Steggall said Taylor did not read the room.
• Shoebridge described the alleged attack as male violence against a woman, while Attorney-General Michelle Rowland said Haines's work had delivered meaningful outcomes.
