'Deeply affected': MP's office to reopen after attack

Key points

• Staff of independent MP Helen Haines say they have been moved by public kindness as they prepare to reopen her electorate offices. Haines remains in critical condition after a car allegedly struck her outside her Wangaratta office on Monday, and both her legs were amputated.
• Brendan Nugent, 43, is accused of deliberately driving into her. A charity appeal in her honour has raised more than $730,000.
• Police, federal agencies and state leaders are reviewing security for politicians, and parliamentarians in several states have received briefings.
