The upcoming election on Saturday 23 March could be the critical turning point in our campaign to legalise voluntary assisted dying (VAD). The MPs in this next parliament will be voting on another Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill this year. The future is in our hands at this election and we know that 85% of the community want VAD laws in NSW.
Whoever you choose to vote for, make sure you know their view on VAD. We have asked all parties contesting the election for their views on VAD. The results so far are shown below. And don’t forget that in NSW elections, you determine where your preferences go.
We asked all registered parties for their policy on VAD laws. The following parties have a binding policy to support VAD and their MPs will definitely vote in favour of the VAD Bill which we expect to come before parliament this year. We will update it as more information comes to hand.
