We still have a long way to go before all Australian citizens are empowered to make their own decision about #voluntaryassisteddying but we are getting there and I'm so pleased.

Premier Perrottet says 'The answer to suffering is to not offer death but care comfort and compassion' in today's debate about the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill.

We did it ! 52:42 #VoluntaryAssistedDying laws pass in #NSWLA

Just spent 2 hours on panel with #AndrewDenton for #VoluntaryAssistedDying Forum organised from Townsville by Aaron Harper. Great debate. Strongly refuted misinformation #churches are circulating in strident effort to stop legislation being passed by Queensland #Parliament .

SA just passed #voluntaryassisteddying Bill. 4th state. Half our population now live in a state with compassion and choice at the end of life.

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING on #AssistedDying Waterford Wednesday 14th June, 7,30pm at Traceys Hotel. Learn what it is & why legislation matters. On the panel Dr. Brendan O'Shea with
Marie Fleming's life partner Tom Curran. #IrelandIsReady #VAD #VoluntaryAssistedDying

I'm still thinking about Andrew Denton's presentation at #COSA21 COSA this morning. Talking about #VoluntaryAssistedDying is difficult for everyone - but whether doctors are prepared for it or not, patients ARE having these conversations amongst themselves.

Thankfully, the #NSWParliament has heard the will of the people.

The misinformation about #VoluntaryAssistedDying from church groups is just plain wrong.❌

Let's not fall for it.🤓

May #Queensland Parliament's majority of MPs please vote YES!✅

Not a surprise that an archbishop who believes in a god without evidence can exaggerate and claim that there will be deaths on a large scale from regulated #voluntaryassisteddying in NSW - again without evidence. Sensationalist rubbish. Does he run from rationality?

#voluntaryassisteddying Opponents always say you cannot put pressure on a person to request VAD. But they’re happy to put pressure on a person NOT to request VAD by insisting on an institutional conscientious objections #saparli VALE - Voluntary Assisted Life Ending (Tanya) @DWDQld Dying with Dignity NSW l@gogentle_aus

Important research on voluntary assisted dying by one of the most clever people I have ever known, my high school sista, Jodhi Rutherford, and her colleagues, Lindy Willmott and Ben White from QUT #voluntaryassisteddying

Michael Pascoe I would say would shift the agenda a LOT further to the right. Bad for NSW. And I wouldn’t ANY hold hope for a conscience vote from the Libs for Alex Greenwich MP’s #voluntaryassisteddying bill now.

The States Assembly has voted to APPROVE the Council of Ministers’ proposal to permit, in principle, assisted dying in Jersey, as amended by Deputy @KirstenJersey.

Original proposition: bit.ly/3CjrSoV

Deputy Morel’s amendment: bit.ly/3HKxCw7

Archbishop Fisher can’t seriously believe what he is saying:

“Should euthanasia be legalised in New South Wales, we can expect to witness death on a large scale…….”

Polls show even his own flock don’t believe him.

These really helped me!

Full house at day 1 of the #voluntaryassisteddying implementation conference in Melbourne today. Starting with an honest account of the experience of MAID in Ontario by James Downar, sharing lessons as Victoria prepares for legislation coming into effect on 19 June

We won't take down your campaign based on a personal belief unlike most crowdfunding companies.

I hope that States Assembly - Jersey's elected parliament maintains leadership & commitment on #AssistedDying through the next 18 months.

To our global advocacy family, thank you. To the people of Ireland, whose voices we represent, know we will never give up. Choice, the freedom to choose an #AssistedDeath lies at the heart of this legislation to voluntarily apply to be assessed. #VAD #VoluntaryAssistedDying

Is Perrottet Terrottet Perrotinitis dressed as an Opus Dei priest today? #auspol #nswpol #VoluntaryAssistedDying

Julian Bareuther and Keith English had very different deaths. One died peacefully surrounded by his family. The other took his own life after being ruled ineligible to access medication under Victoria's assisted dying laws ow.ly/oiaZ30qRgiT
