Western Australians have rejected the passing of the euthanasia bill by the lower house yesterday, with around 1,200 people attending the ‘Care, Not Killing’ rally held on the steps of parliament house today.

The debate over life itself is raging in the Queensland parliament right now. Last Friday in our Parliament House, I gave testimony to the Committee overseeing the inquiry, which will either recommend or not the introduction of euthanasia laws in Queensland.

After much media barracking, the long awaited Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2019 has been tabled in the WA parliament. For months the media have been running confronting and tragic stories of loved ones dying in agony.

The Australian Christian Lobby has expressed sadness with news that the first Victorian person has been killed through physician assisted suicide. 

The Australian Christian Lobby said Victorians would be horrified to learn that lethal poisons can legally be distributed today to households across the state, for the purpose of killing people.

The Australian Christian Lobby expressed grave concerns for Victorian medical practitioners and vulnerable patients as Victorian Health professionals are being trained in administering assisted suicide in Melbourne.

The Australian Christian Lobby today warned of the euthanasia slippery slope as the Queensland Council for Civil Liberties argue for children as young as 12 to have access to assisted dying.

How we treat our elderly is a measure of our true worth and moral integrity as a community.  

I was privileged to attend the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety’s first Victorian community consultation in Bendigo this week.

The Australian Christian Lobby warns that the consequences of legalising Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide in Queensland are far-reaching and still considerably unknown.

In a move the Australian Christian Lobby is calling an attack on vulnerable Queenslanders the state Labor government today established a parliamentary inquiry to consider assisted suicide legislation.
