"Sanctity of life" - my poor friend - 18 months of hell with vaginal cancer - rendered totally immobile and in agony after 48 sessions of radiation that didn't cure it - she died the most horrendous way. These Pollies need to do more research.
Qld MP Luke Howarth (LNP, Petrie) won't support Bill. Says Territories don't deserve same rights as states. Quotes from Catholic Archbishop of Canberra & Goulburn Christopher Prowse about stanctity of life & state-sanctioned killing. #AssistedDying #VAD #ACTpol #NTpol

Mr Gosling says he has his own reservations about assisted dying, but he believes Territorians and their parliament should be allowed to have that debate for themselves #assisteddying #auspol

Alicia Payne (ALP, Canberra) is now on her feet saying it is wrong that some Australains are denied rights simply because of where they live #assisteddying #VAD #auspol

Luke Gosling (ALP, Solomon) says the prohibition on the Territories from debating and passing assisted dying laws is an effective 'gag' 'on democracy. This bill is not about legalising VAD but about equity and fairness #assisstedying #auspol

ACT MP Andrew Leigh (ALP, Fenner) is a passionate supporter of Territory Rights and #assisteddying. He will back the Territory Rights bill. "To hold back the Territories is to hold back laws that have been passed in every other Australian state". #VAD #auspol #ACTpol #ntpol

NT MP Marion Scrymgour (ALP, Lingiari) will back the Territory Rights Bill. She says Territorians should be able to have their views reflected & acted upon. Bill wont legalise VAD in the NT, simply enable the debate to happen. #assisteddying #VAD #ntpol #actpol

TAS MP Bridget Archer (LP, Bass) shows a deep understanding of the issues of Territory Rights & #assisteddying. Says Territorians should have the same rights to pass a #VAD law that Tasmanians had. Both issues meet community expectations. Commends Bill #auspol #ACtpol #NTpol

Debate on the Restoring Territory Rights Bill is now adjourned in House of Reps to continue tomorrow as a first order of business #assisteddying #VAD #auspol #ACTpol #NTpol
As the Territories embark on their quest for VAD, reflecting on my post from 2020. Some things don't change - WE have to change them.

I have leisons in the corners of my mouth that won't heal, they crack any time I open my mouth. I feel like this doesn't bode well. Maybe I'm ok but I'm starting to LOOK like I'm dying. Brain cancer is an invisible disability but these mouth sores bode ill.
