EOLC Sub 680 Rec'd 22/10/2017 22 October 2017 The Principal Research Officer Select Committee on End of Life Choices Legislative Assembly Parliament House PERTH WA 6000 Email [email protected] Dear Principal Research Officer RE WHY EUTHANASIA HAS NO PLACE IN AUSTRALIA WHY EUTHANASIA SUPPORTERS MUST FALL ON THEIR OWN SWORD WHY EUTHANASIA IN ANY OF ITS FORMS SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED WHY EUTHANASIA MUST NOT SEE THE SUNSET ON THIS, THE LONGEST DAY My name is David Foletta. 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.

Ten Reasons Why Young Idealistic People Should Forget About Organised Politics
Ten Reasons Why Young Idealistic People Should Forget About Organised Politics Public Lecture by Mark Latham at the University of Melbourne, 27 September 2005 Let me start with a few thank yous. I want to thank the Vice Chancellor and his university for hosting this public lecture, demonstrating that The Latham Diaries have a lot to say about political science and social studies in this country. I also want to thank Louise Adler and her team at Melbourne University Publishing for producing the book and weathering the storm that surrounds it. As Senator Faulkner always told me, political history is written in books, not newspaper articles. And MUP has published a good- looking and accessible book for the benefit of future historians and students. But most of all, I want to thank the political and media establishment for the way in which they have received The Latham Diaries. When John Howard, the Australian Labor Party, the Canberra Press Gallery, and the Packer and Murdoch empires combine, as they have over the past fortnight, to tell people not to read this book, it sends a powerful message: the Canberra Club has a lot to worry about and a lot to hide. Thankfully, the reading public are not silly. They are not easily swayed by media hysteria and sensationalism. They know what’s going on here: The Latham Diaries blow the whistle on the Canberra Club, providing a contemporary, behind-the-scenes account of the many flaws in the system. This is why the book sold out last week and MUP has had to triple the print run. -

BACK to the BEST INTERESTS of the CHILD 2Nd Edition
POLICY MONOGRAPH BACK TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD 2nd Edition TOWARDS A REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF JOINT RESIDENCE Yuri Joakimidis BACK TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD TOWARDS A REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF JOINT RESIDENCE Although the dispute is symbolized by a 'versus' which signifies two adverse parties at opposite poles of a line, there is in fact a third party whose interests and rights make of the line a triangle. That person, the child who is not an official party to the lawsuit but whose well- being is in the eye of the controversy, has a right to shared parenting when both are equally suited to provide it. Inherent in the express public policy is a recognition of the child's right to equal access and opportunity with both parents, the right to be guided and nurtured by both parents, the right to have major decisions made by the application of both parents' wisdom, judgement and experience. The child does not forfeit these rights when the parents divorce." Presiding Judge Dorothy T.
