I recently attended the St John Ambulance awards with my colleague Dr David Clark from the Dunedin electorate, also with the Mayor of Dunedin, Aaron Hawkins, and myself—it showed the regard that we have for St John as an organisation. We were watching people receive awards for five years, for 10 years, for up to 45 years of service, and I have stood in this House to tautoko them and to advocate for more funding for the incredible work that they do. For first responders, the work they do is not just work; it is a vocation, and we leave our lives in their hands. I have the highest respect for them, and that is for all first responders—the police, fire, prison officers, and the ambulance. But I do take offence to the minimum sentence of six months' imprisonment. It is seductive, simplistic, us-and-them politics, it is populist, and what it does is it seeks to differentiate between categories of people. It doesn't address why these assaults happen and, importantly, it won't prevent them happening in the future.
