男子不会因为攻击身穿制服的非值班护理人员而被判处强制性监禁,这暴露了法律漏洞。 A man won't get mandatory jail for attacking an off-duty paramedic in uniform, exposing a legal loophole.

一名58岁的Seaford男子不会因9月13日在Mornington攻击护理人员Kathryn McCormack而面临强制性监禁, 因为检察官因法律技术原因撤销了紧急工人攻击指控:她当时没有治疗病人。 A 58-year-old Seaford man will not face a mandatory jail term for assaulting paramedic Kathryn McCormack in Mornington on September 13, as prosecutors dropped the emergency worker assault charge due to a legal technicality: she was not treating a patient at the time. 事件发生在McCormack和一位同事下班时,他们身着制服,试图缓和争端。 The incident occurred while McCormack and a colleague were off-duty but in uniform and attempting to de-escalate a dispute. 尽管他面临其他指控,包括袭击警察和持有受控武器,但本案凸显了维多利亚州2014年法律的一个漏洞,该法仅在紧急工作者积极治疗病人时才适用。 Though he faces other charges, including assault on police and possession of a controlled weapon, the case highlights a loophole in Victoria’s 2014 law, which only applies when emergency workers are actively treating patients. 维多利亚州救护车联盟谴责这一决定,呼吁紧急改革《判刑法》,援引2025年2 430多起袭击紧急工人事件,自颁布以来没有根据特别法律定罪。 The Victorian Ambulance Union has condemned the decision, calling for urgent reform of the Sentencing Act, citing over 2,430 assaults on emergency workers in 2025 and no convictions under the special law since its introduction. 联盟领导人认为,第一反应者(他们总是随叫随到)应该得到保护,无论其眼前的任务如何。 Union leaders argue that first responders, who are always on call, deserve protection regardless of their immediate task.
