Labor members have urged all government MPs to support Voluntary Assisted Dying laws despite an impassioned plea from one politician, who became the first Labor MP to publicly express reservations over the Bill.
Labor MP Linus Power asked members not to "put pressure" on MPs as he questioned the reasons some might access proposed laws in Queensland and suggested there would be "serious unintended consequences" for the terminally-ill.
But the motion - which called for their support during the September parliament vote and for the government to invest in more palliative care - overwhelmingly passed at state conference on Sunday after a lively and emotional debate.
