A bill to overturn a 25-year-old ban on the ACT and the Northern Territory legislating assisted suicide could be tabled as soon as Parliament resumes on 26 July.

Founder of the Sex Party, Fiona Patten, is calling for the Victorian government to force religious hospitals to add abortion and assisted suicide to their services provided.

Last Thursday, on the back of a well-funded campaign laced with a dangerous mix of half-truths, misinformation and outright lies, Queensland became the latest Australian state to legalise assisted suicide.

The SA Lower House passed an assisted suicide Bill on 9 June 2021. As Paul Kelly said in an article in The Australian, such a Bill, in a time of extensive societal disruption to save lives from Covid-19, reveals the West’s – and our state’s – moral bankruptcy.

This week is National Palliative Care Week in Australia. It is a time that the nation’s mind should be focused on supporting and caring for the terminally ill.

Coming on top of supporting abortion to birth, the Government is taking South Australia down a dark road of supporting death. The Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill passed the Upper House last week, 14 votes to 7.

Ten terminally ill South Australians took their own lives in the first six months of last year, according to a recent report by The Advertiser. The Australian Christian Lobby says this should stimulate the community to provide greater care for people in the final chapter of their lives.

Queenslanders have reason to fear that that the ALP Government is planning to rush new euthanasia laws through the Parliament with the least scrutiny possible, according to the Australian Christian Lobby.

There are 139 reasons to be concerned about Tasmania’s proposed Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill according to the Australian Christian Lobby.

The Australian Christian Lobby will oppose the latest attempt to legalise assisted suicide in New South Wales, this time by independent Sydney MP Alex Greenwich.
