A push for euthanasia laws to be enacted in Queensland is being privately funded and is getting strong support from protagonists in the media.

The Victorian Government has today refused to heed desperate last-minute calls for an indefinite deferral of the misnamed Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill, according to the Australian Christian Lobby.

South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill should explain the Labor Party position on state-sanctioned assisted suicide following calls from within his cabinet to reintroduce failed euthanasia legislation, according to the Australian Christian Lobby. 

Australian states and territories must not cast aside palliative care in favour of a state-sanctioned assisted suicide regime as has occurred in Victoria today, warns the Australian Christian Lobby.

How will you vote in the upcoming Queensland election? The choice has never been starker. 

Revelations that public health doctors in Victoria feel they are being gagged from warning against the Andrews Government state-sanctioned assisted suicide bill should ring alarm bells for Upper House MPs as they contemplate the bill this week.

With the sitting member, Peter Wellington retiring after close to 20 years, Nicklin voters are keenly weighing up the values of new candidates in relation to fundamental social issues such as euthanasia, abortion and their views on radical sex education being taught to kids.  

The Australian Christian Lobby calls on the Federal Parliament to reject moves to set aside the legal framework governing the Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory governments as a means of pushing an euthanasia agenda. 

Victorian Government is pushing ahead with euthanasia legislation but the Parliament’s Upper House still needs to consider every detail in the third reading stage.

While the Government may be pleased that their assisted suicide program is one step closer for Victorians today, the inherent dangers of state-sanctioned killing remain and campaigning to protect the vulnerable, especially the elderly and those with disabilities, will intensify in the coming days and weeks, according to the Australian Christian Lobby.
