Voluntary Assisted Dying laws introduced to Queensland Parliament

JOINT STATEMENT
Legislation to allow access to voluntary assisted dying in Queensland has been introduced into Parliament today.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021 will now be scrutinised by the Health and Environment Parliamentary Committee, and will go through further public consultation.
“The path to this day has been long and considered, and paved with reverence and respect,” the Premier said.
“Many Queenslanders who have watched a loved one suffer feel passionately that there must be dignified options available to everyone.
“This bill delivers on an important election commitment I made to the people of Queensland.
“It provides a chain of safeguards to ensure only those at the end of life can make these choices, and then only those capable of making that choice for themselves.
