After a marathon all-night debate, our legislation to allow voluntary assisted dying has passed the lower house of the Victorian Parliament.

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

When it was my turn to speak, I ended with these 5 words from a submission from a member of the public – advice he wanted all MPs to heed.

[Dying with Dignity NSW @DWDnsw]

Already ATO allows early release of Super for those with <24 months to live. Life insurance too. It’s not contentious #VAD #springst

[Dying with Dignity NSW @DWDnsw]

Oh Victoria, we are exhausted watching you drag this important Bill into law. The people of NSW are with you till the end #vad #springst
