Indeed. The legislation remains weak though.

Obstructing emergency vehicles on the road can be prosecuted as dangerous/reckless driving as well as a whole raft of offences. If you do that ON the road the maximum penalties can be measured in YEARS and an unlimited fine. Compared to that the applicable parts of the legislation look fairly feeble.
