Vale Jo Cox

 Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese has labelled the killing of a British MP as a hate crime.

Labour MP Jo Cox died after being shot in her constituency in northern England in an attack that has caused campaigning for next week's EU referendum to be suspended.

Our hearts go out to Jo's family, including husband Brendan and their two children, at this awful time. Jo Cox was a brave and passionate MP, who championed refugee & women's rights, campaigned against modern slavery, and was a former head of policy at Oxfam.

More recently, Jo had been a strong campaigner to keep Britain in the European Union.
