New South Wales Paramedic Steven Tougher was killed in 2023, after being stabbed 55 times outside a Western Sydney fast-food restaurant.

His father, Jeff, has told Mark Levy that his push for tougher laws was rebuffed by the NSW Attorney-General, who he claims said 12-month mandatory minimum sentences were 'too harsh'. 


The revelation comes as the Government works with Charles Sturt University to create stab-resistant vests for paramedics to keep them safe.
