The Government's introduction of new sentences for coward punches is being described as merely cosmetic.

It's announced specific offences for striking a distracted victim - which could carry a sentence of life imprisonment, if fatal.

But Law Association Vice President Julie-Anne Kincade told Ryan Bridge she understands people have been looking for reform in this area.

She doesn't think it will make a huge impact, as the changes will add one year to the maximum penalty of offences which already exist.
