Voluntary Assisted Dying – Is it working? and should all Australians have access to this option?

Today marks one year since Victoria introduced a voluntary assisted dying scheme. It’s the first Australian state to enact Voluntary Assisted Dying laws, so the question is: Should the rest of the country follow suit?

We speak to Dr Cameron McLaren, the Victorian doctor who’s assisted in more deaths than any other doctor. And Adam Foreman whose mum chose Voluntary Assisted Dying to end her battle with cancer.

In todays headlines:

  • Jamila caught in the Labor branch stacking cross-fire
  • Uni fees overhauled, the new cut price courses
  • Calls for JobKeeper and JobSeeker to be extended after horror job losses
  • Ex-top advisor says Trump isn’t fit for office
  • Homeless man sneaks into Covid-19 quarantine, scores two week free hotel stay

Keep an eye out for our Special Weekend Briefing in your feed tomorrow, where we go in depth with Andrew Denton, who’s been Australia’s most vocal advocate for assisted dying.
