VADSA

White Australia’s moral backwardness - johnmenadue.com/white-austra…

Congratulations to @DWDnsw @gogentle_aus for the massive effort for the people of NSW to achieve a compassionate choice at the end of life. VAD Bill just passed upper house 23:15. Territories the last place where people left to suffer. #saparli ##auspol @DWDVic @aus_politics

Morrison has just said NT and ACT will not have VAD while he is PM. ‘Territories are different’. Really. People in Territories don’t suffer apparently. @gogentle_aus @DWDVic @DWDnsw @aus_politics

Congratulations Queensland! And congrats Tanya!

If the lie that SA #voluntaryassisteddying Act forces faith based hospitals to provide services against their will is the basis for Jack Snelling’s reincarnation of Family First then it’s not a good start #saparli @gogentle_aus @DWDVic @DWDnsw @DWDnsw

SA just passed #voluntaryassisteddying Bill. 4th state. Half our population now live in a state with compassion and choice at the end of life. Next Queensland and NSW. @saparli @DWDVic @gogentle_aus @DWDQld @DWDnsw @ValeEnding @PallCareSA

SA VAD Bill #saparli #voluntaryassisteddying hot off the press and all amendments included vadsa.org.au/voluntary_assis… Final debate expected June 23

Thank you #saparli for acting on the will of the community. Compassion prevailed.

They voted YES last night. The 33 SA MPs who supported #assisteddying #saparli #palliativecare and thanks to @SAPOL for saying why we needed the legislation

@Biggles66 quotes his favourite PM Bob Hawke a strong #assisteddying supporter as VAD opponents recognise Compassion has finally won tonight #saparli @ValeEnding @DWDVic @gogentle_aus

Congratulations @NatCookMP for speaking up for compassion and real choice for people suffering at the end of life #saparli

#voluntaryassisteddying Opponents always say you cannot put pressure on a person to request VAD. But they’re happy to put pressure on a person NOT to request VAD by insisting on an institutional conscientious objections #saparli @ValeEnding @DWDQld @DWDnsw l@gogentle_aus

@tonypiccolomp is saying we need more pall care funding before #voluntaryassisteddying in Victoria 90% of people using VAD we’re in palliative care. #palliativecare does not relieve suffering for 5-10% of people @vadsaorg @gogentle_aus #saparli @DWDVic @DWDQld @DWDnsw @ValeEnding

Three votes for #voluntaryassisteddying confirmed in Mt Gambier tonight - South Australia. @NickMcBridePR , @kymaher , @TroyBellS2P . #saparli @ValeEnding @gogentle_aus @DWDVic @DWDQld @DWDnsw @DWDWA17

Evict a dying person from their own home. That’s what @SteveMurrayAU wants made legal for a person who requests #voluntaryassisyeddying #saparli #dwdvic

A recalculation of the change in funding over five years shows a 4 per cent real increase. Since passage of the VAD Act in 2017 ,105 million additional and in 20/21 additional 75 mill recurrent over 4 years

Compassion won out tonight in SA’s Legislative Council. Thank you to the 14 who voted for #voluntaryassisteddying especially @kymaher and @StephenWadeAP for their leadership in the debate. #saparli @gogentle_aus @DWDVic @DWDnsw @DWDnsw

The Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill passed 14 to 7 at 11.40 pm in the Upper House

An attempt by Hon Frank Pangallo that conscientious objection to VAD be extended from individual health practitioners to cover institutions including hospitals and aged care facilities has failed but may be debated in the lower house @gogentle_aus @ValeEnding #saparli

Hon Dennis Hood has stated that the information he gave Parliament that palliative care funding was reduced following passage of the Victorian Bill was incorrect. It has increased.#saparli @gogentle_aus @ValeEnding
