Ambulance Victoria CEO, Jordan Emery, has voiced his anger over a concerning rise of violence and abuse towards paramedics this festive season.

Paramedics say they’ve been spat on, inappropriately touched and verbally abused, and Mr Emery told Jimmy Bartel and Mark Allen “they’ve had enough”.

“It’s disgraceful,” he said on 3AW Breakfast.

Press PLAY to hear him voice his anger (including the response that Mark Allen didn’t expect)
