The Left Qld

The Left is the progressive voice of the ALP and the largest group in Queensland Labor. We stand for equality, fairness and social justice.

As someone who has rented for the majority of their life, @MarkBaileyMP understands the importance of these renting reforms.

With more Queenslanders renting, & renting for longer, now is the time to modernise our laws.

📝 Introduce min standards for rental properties
🐶 Make it easier to keep a pet
🚫 End without-grounds evictions
🛡️ Stronger protections for victims of domestic and family violence

BREAKING: VAD passes Queensland Parliament.

It’s an historic moment – Voluntary Assisted Dying laws have just passed the Queensland Parliament.

#VAD #qldpol

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

Voluntary assisted dying is exactly that – voluntary.

"If a dying person is suffering and they wish to exercise the choice, who are we to say that that is not a valid choice?"

@PeterRussoMP

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

As @GlennButcherMP said, "this bill is about providing a choice for Queenslanders who have run out of all other options."

#VAD #qldpol

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

There is a more dignified way.

It is out of respect for Queenslanders.

Thanks for supporting our right to have a choice in the end of life, @CraigCrawfordMP

@LeeanneEnoch fundamentally believes more can be done to provide greater comfort and dignity for people approaching the end of their lives.

Thank you, Leeanne.

@McMahonMF_MP supports giving terminally ill Queenslanders choice, dignity and control over their death.

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

@TomSmithMP gets it right!

#VAD #qldpol

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

@NikkiBoydMP believes that terminally ill people should be able to choose the way they depart this world.

#VAD #qldpol

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

"This legislation won’t cause one extra death, it will however, cause a lot less suffering for terminally ill Queenslanders."

Well said, @shanekingmp

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

But the decision to allow the choice is up to us. We can change it this week!

@MarkBaileyMP, thank you for your compassion and support for giving terminally ill Queenslanders a choice.

#VAD #qldpol

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

These laws are about giving people back dignity and control in circumstances where it has been ripped away from them.

Thank you for your support and activism on VAD, @LanceMcCallumMP

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

@meaghan_scanlon is right.

This bill is not about a choice between life and death. That fate has already been determined.

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

Thank you, @BrittanyLauga

Queenslanders nearing the end of their life deserve to have the choice.

#VAD #qldpol

[The Left Qld @TheLeftQld]

It's a compassionate and caring choice to make available to those with a terminal illness.

It's the right choice.

Thank you for supporting VAD, @KimeRichards
