## Resource

A federal Liberal MP from South Australia and his staffer survived a harrowing oyster barge accident in Tasmania, where a crew member was pinned between the boat and a sandbar—prompting a frantic rescue. The MP suffered serious knee and wrist injuries from a collision with the vessel and was hospitalized, while his staffer remains in critical but stable condition. The MP prioritized his staffer’s care, thanked responders, and plans to stay in Tasmania to support them. Authorities, including Tasmania Police, WorkSafe Tasmania, and AMSA, are now investigating the incident to determine what went wrong.
