When asked if there had been any “outside interference”, the PM said he was “concentrating on the Pacific Islands Forum here”. Sarah Hanson-Young urges parliament to take up VAD reform bill Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young said calls from South Australia to reform the use of telehealth to access voluntary assisted dying (VAD) services amounted to a need for “crucial reform” that cannot wait.
As reported in the blog earlier, South Australia has asked the federal government to amend the criminal code to remove legal uncertainty around the use of telehealth for VAD services. “SBS is without question the home of ‘the World Game’ in Australia and we are so pleased to retain the exclusive rights for 2030,” the SBS managing director, Jane Palfreyman, said.
Hanson-Young said access to VAD is a “right every Australian should have access to”, adding in a statement: double quotation mark Voluntary assisted dying is legal in every state and territory, yet too many Australians living with terminal illness are denied access to VAD advice and care because they are blocked from speaking to their doctor on the phone.
