The Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) has welcomed what it calls the “resounding” defeat of Victoria’s Physician Assisted Dying Bill 2008, lost last month with a vote of 25 to 13.
“The Victorian Upper House politicians who voted against this bill should be proud of the role they have played in safeguarding our state from the travesty of turning doctors from carers into killers,” said ACL Victorian director Rob Ward.
The ACL is now calling for the Victorian government to step up palliative care support.
“This bill pushed by vocal euthanasia advocates has diverted attention from the real need to provide better end of life care services for Victorians,” Mr Ward said.
“The vast majority of sick and elderly people have no interest in ending their lives but could greatly benefit from more palliative care resources.”
