Anna Henderson's Canberra: the debate over political violence

Anna Henderson discusses the ongoing debate over the connection between the tone of political rhetoric and real world acts of violence, since the attack on Independent MP Helen Haines, the motive for which is still under investigation. Federal parliament spent the day allowing time for reflections on the attack, and sending messages of support for Dr Haines. Meanwhile the Ombudsman has criticised the federal government for its use of algorithms in aged care assessments, warning the government has not learned the lessons from Robodebt.
