‘Euthanasia’ comes from the Greek meaning ‘a good death’. Assisted suicide advocates claim that their form of ‘a good death’ will assure a peaceful death free from suffering.

The Australian Christian Lobby has today contradicted claims by Mike Gaffney MLC that people of faith should not influence public policy.

The Australian Christian Lobby’s Tasmanian Director Christopher Brohier has commended the Tasmanian Premier for his concern for the vulnerable amid debate on a private member’s bill promoting assisted suicide. The Premier told ABC radio listeners this week: “I have never been convinced that the legislation in the past has sufficient safeguards to ensure that the vulnerable in our society will be protected.”

The Australian Christian Lobby today called on the Tasmanian Labor Party to pull back from its stated intent to support Mike Gaffney MLC’s ‘Assisted Dying’ Bill.

The Australian Christian Lobby today said that Tasmanian law-makers should promote hope and confidence in this great state.  However, Upper House member Mike Gaffney’s assisted suicide Bill is founded on, and promotes, hopelessness and fear.

The Australian Christian Lobby commends the Queensland government for today postponing their planned euthanasia legislation until after the October election, and for committing more funding for palliative care. The Palaszczcuk Government today referred the issue to the Law Reform Commission for a report by March 2021.

Soon after the COVID-19 crisis finishes, Tasmania will have to vote on a euthanasia Bill.

Many say that they should be able to end their lives when they choose. But, as Pastor Ian Dunn and Professor Ian Olver AM explain, the 'final chapter' of our lives can change everything.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk failed a leadership test today when the media asked her about yesterday’s dreadful Health Committee report recommending assisted suicide, the Australian Christian Lobby says.

Today’s high-level report on voluntary assisted dying is unwelcome at this extremely difficult time, according to the Australian Christian Lobby. The Health Committee made recommendations today for the Palaszczuk government-commissioned review on assisted suicide laws.

The Australian Christian Lobby is appalled at the comments attributed to independent MLC Mike Gaffney that he intends to press on with his assisted suicide campaign, despite the COVID-19 crisis.
