I spoke with representatives of Victoria's paramedics today. I told them there are no excuses for violence against emergency workers. If you attack a paramedic who is doing their job, you deserve to face the consequences. So we're going to change the law. https://t.co/gawIDot3Bv

Amanda Warren runs from County Court after successfully appealing an eight-month jail term for bashing a veteran paramedic at Reservoir in 2016. She’s instead been ordered to serve a three-year community corrections order. Co-offender Caris Underwood also avoids prison. @3AW693
BREAKING: Two mothers who violently bashed a veteran paramedic before punching another, have been SPARED JAIL... despite new mandatory sentencing laws. Neither will serve a day in prison. @tennewsmelb 5PM @AmbulanceVic
So here we are, having joined the 21st Century. Allow me to introduce the official Twitter home of #ZeroTolerance. Assaults against Emergency Service Personnel are NEVER going to be acceptable or tolerated...
