Emergency Service workers better protected under Messenger's Bill

Member for Burnett Rob Messenger has written to LNP Leader Campbell Newman, asking for his support and feedback on his Private Members Bill, 'Assault Against Emergency Workers Amendment Bill', which Rob has been working on with ex-police officer, John Huntley.

Mr Messenger's draft bill introduces minimum sentencing for those convicted of assaulting emergency workers, including police, ambulance officers and another eight categories of emergency workers.
