As the Committee may be aware, late last year the New South Wales Legislative Council debated a bill that provided for physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. The bill was entitled the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2017. The following link will take you to the webpage relating to the bill https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/bills/Pages/bill-detai1s.aspx?pk=3422. The bill was debated, voted on and defeated. As you would expect both MLCs and MLAs received a significant number of submissions and letters from organisations and constituents expressing serious concerns regarding the proposed legislation and calling on both Houses to unanimously oppose the bill. With respect to the submissions and letters, they dealt with both the broader concerns relating to physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia legislation as well as particular deficiencies and shortcomings regarding the bill that was before the Parliament.

I am a solicitor admitted to practice in the State of New South Wales. MY SUBMISSIONS It is my pleasure to make submissions to the Inquiry into the need for laws in Western Australia to allow citizens to make informed decisions regarding their own end of life choices (Inquiry). MY POSITION ON EUTHANASIA I oppose all forms of euthanasia. EVANGELICALISM NOT THE ONLY REASON FOR OPPOSITION I hold to a Christian ethic, however, as the committee will see, I hold opposition for reasons that people who have a range of responses to questions of theology could also agree with. CONSENT TO PUBLICATION I give my consent to the public disclosure of this letter, the email serving this letter and all attachments to this letter. In my respectful submission, I actually consider that the public disclosure of the contents of my submissions is vital to the safeguarding of people in Western Australia and by consequence, all people around Australia. IN PERSON ATTENDANCE AT PUBLIC HEARING I am willing to travel to Western Australia to attend a public hearing in person.

Plattner INTRODUCTION On May 25, 1995, the legislature for the Northern Territory of Australia enacted the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act,' [hereinafter referred to as the Act] which becane effective on July 1, 1996.2 However, in less than a year, on March 25, 1997, the Act was repealed by the Australian National Assembly.3 Australia's Northern Territory for a brief time was the only place in the world where specific legislation gave terminally ill patients the right to seek assistance from a physician in order to hasten a patient's death.4 This Article provides a historical account of Australia's Rights of the Terminally Ill Act, evaluates the factors leading to the Act's repeal, and explores the effect of the once-recognized right to assisted suicide in Australia.
