Labor MP Chris Hayes, 65, clutches his heart and collapses while speaking in parliament

Labor MP Chris Hayes clutched his heart and collapsed while speaking in parliament on Thursday.

The 65-year-old member for Fowler in Sydney’s south west was rushed to hospital after the dramatic episode in the Federation Chamber – a side chamber of parliament – at 12pm.

Witnesses say he was speaking about being abused as a child when he clutched his chest and called for help.

He then fell into his chair as Labor MPs Mike Freelander and Tanya Plibersek rushed to help him, witnesses said.

Dr Freelander, a former paediatrician, is said to have given first aid before paramedics arrived.

Labor leader Anthony Albanese said he suffered a ‘sudden medical event’ but is now stable in hospital and will stay overnight for tests with his wife by his side.

‘He recovered pretty quickly,’ Mr Albanese said.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison described Mr Hayes as ‘very good bloke’ and sent his ‘prayers’ to his wife and children.

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
