BRETT HUDSON (National): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I rise to speak on the Protection for First Responders and Prison Officers Bill in this, its second reading. Now, National supports a tough approach on those who cause harm to our first responders. We've all seen, just recently, just how perilous life can be for our first responders, and what harm can mean—in the extreme. There are also so many occasions when our first responders—and indeed, in cases, corrections officers—are placed in harm's way and do suffer less harm, but harm none the less. We do agree that that is wrong.
