Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: Why does it take so long for good ideas to become law?

Anyone out there, hands up, who doesn't agree with the Justice Minister's plan to introduce harsher punishments for people who assault first responders?

I feel like this is a complete no-brainer.

I mean, there are some out there who would argue that no assault is acceptable at all and that if you create two tiers of punishment where you've got the police officers on one level and then the normal humans on another - what you're saying is that some assaults are more acceptable than others.
