Copy of my letter emailed to Prime Minister Turnbull
Dear Prime Minister Turnbull
On Tuesday 14 August 2018 the Senate is set to debate legislation lifting the ban on NT and ACT controlling their own voluntary euthanasia laws.
The Liberal Party of Australia platform includes: We believe in the inalienable rights and freedoms of all peoples; and we work towards a lean government that minimises interference in our daily lives; ……
“If the vote came on, if I was a Senator, I would be voting against it,” Mr Turnbull said on SBS News.
This is in spite of the fact that Victoria passed their Voluntary Assisted Dying law last year.
So Mr Turnbull, you believe the 250,000 people of the NT should be denied “the inalienable rights and freedoms” permitted the people of Victoria!
Mr Turnbull. Your position is both hypocritical and totally undemocratic.
