Stu Cockburn: St John Ambulance Operations Manager discusses stricter laws on first responder assault

Paramedics are giving the Government a thumbs up, as it moves to crack down on assaults towards first responders and prison officers.  It's proposing higher penalties, with five years maximum imprisonment for assault with intent to injure, and a seven year maximum for injuring with intent.  St John Ambulance Operations Manager Stu Cockburn told Mike Hosking this is a step in the right direction.
