25.01.2022 "When asked during the election campaign why she was picking a fight with the churches by committing to Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation, Ms Palaszczuk said that at the end of the day, this is a choice for individuals. And she was absolutely correct. If a person's religion teaches them that VAD is wrong, they are free not to participate in it. They have that option. But they should not have the ability to dictate the value choices of people of other faiths."

24.01.2022 Marshall Perron, former chief minister of the Northern Territory, writes: "Two weeks ago, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk set voluntary assisted dying at the centre of her re-election campaign. She announced that Labor would legalise voluntary assisted dying if it won the election. As expected, it triggered a campaign against her by the Catholic and other churches. But what could they do against a savvy politician representing the clear will of the people? In Queensland, as in Tasmania and virtually every developed country in the world, an overwhelming majority support voluntary assisted dying. Australian opinion polls have shown this for 40 years and support has kept getting stronger."

21.01.2022 Congratulations, Tasmania! Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation has passed the Upper House and will now be referred to the Lower House to be debated.

19.01.2022 The need for Voluntary Assisted Dying is urgent. This is one of many reasons why.

18.01.2022 Voluntary Assisted Dying. It's about choice!

17.01.2022 Today our Vice President Craig Glasby met with his local MP Jonty Bush - Member for Cooper. We were very pleased to hear Ms Bush is actively engaging with her electorate on Voluntary Assisted Dying - she is currently running a survey and door knocking locals about it! So far, over 90% of respondents have indicated they support VAD. ... Ms Bush is keen to ensure her elected is represented when VAD goes to a vote and wants to make sure the legislation passes in its best form. We look forward to working more with Ms Bush over the coming months.

16.01.2022 "My mom practically hopped out of her bed when she heard the details and that she qualified; she was so excited. She told me right away after the doctor left, That’s what I’m going to dophysician-assisted dying. I don’t want to compete with this diseasethat’s not what I want to do with the rest of my life.

14.01.2022 "A Voluntary Assisted Dying law will protect those individuals such as doctors and other medical staff whose actions in giving patients terminal sedation have scant or no legal protection."

13.01.2022 Some people might think that the anti-VAD stand of the Australian Medical Association means all doctors oppose voluntary assisted dying laws, but they would be wrong.

13.01.2022 We all deserve the choice to seek a dignified death when faced with terminal illness and intolerable suffering! My life, my choice, your life, your choice!

11.01.2022 Julieanne Gilbert Member for Mackay has announced her in principle support for Voluntary Assisted Dying. Thank you!

11.01.2022 Voluntary Assisted Dying is about giving people the choice to seek a dignified death when faced with intolerable suffering and terminal illness. Queensland may see legislation introduced to parliament for debate early next year, and as a member of the My Life My Choice coalition, we will fight as hard as we can to make sure people are given choice!

10.01.2022 Sir Patrick Stewart is right! We all deserve the choice of a dignified death when faced with intolerable suffering and terminal illness!

08.01.2022 Why should Queenslanders have to suffer a bad death if they don't want to? If somebody is terminally ill and suffering intolerably, they should have the choice to access Voluntary Assisted Dying!

05.01.2022 "He'll give his MPs a free vote on this life-and-death issue, but LNP leader David Crisafulli is personally taking the position of his predecessor."

05.01.2022 At the end of the day, Voluntary Assisted Dying is simply about people and their choice to alleviate pain and suffering at the end of their lives. https://www.illawarramercury.com.au//for-sandi-the-choic/

02.01.2022 DWDQ President Jos Hall thanked members and supporters for their hard work in advancing the cause of Voluntary Assisted Dying in Queensland. With legislation potentially being debated early next year, the fight is not yet over and we will all need to commit to more hard work in the months ahead.
