Currently the issue is heating up ready to fire across Australia. Three citations from today that might be useful after something actually happens in some parliament of Australia. Donama (talk) 06:19, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1. Both SA^{[News 1][News 2]} and WA^{[News 3]} parliaments are about to dabble with euthanasia legislation. A Green MP and Labor MP legislating in SA and a Green MP legislating in WA.
2. The NT has legalised it previously, though the right for territories to legislate so is now gone.^{[News 4]}
3. Now the federal Greens are trying to restore that right.^{[News 5]}
4. Tony Abbott said today the whole issue is "low priority."^{[News 5]}

Are you referring to this sentence in Euthanasia in Australia#Legalisation in the Northern Territory?

... three people had already died through physician assisted suicide under the legislation, aided by Dr Philip Nitschke.

It seems reasonable to mee - I don't think there is any doubt that the three people explicitly chose to die (ie "suicide") and were helped to do so by Nitschke (hence "assisted suicide").

To tidy up the code can I suggest that the reference code be moved to below the references heading using Template:Reflist and Template:R to call the reference. Thoughts? 8==8 Boneso (talk) 11:05, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This surely isn't true (see opening sentence). Laws relating to euthanasia/voluntary assisted dying are made at a state level. Have changed. Jono52795 (talk) 07:59, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It needs work. See what you can come up with Jono52795. I assume you are talking about the grammar. 8==8 Boneso (talk) 10:03, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I made this table in order to make it easier to see what state have what laws. Similar to

@Rump1234: I, for one, think this is useful. Thank you! ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 06:42, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that "The euthanasia advocacy group YourLastRight.com[78] is the peak organisation...", yet the link is completely dead. Could this be removed if the organisation is now defunct?

Also, there is a entire article on Yourlastright.com that doesn't mention anything about the website being dead. I couldn't find an option to report the article, so maybe someone could look into getting it removed if it is indeed defunct. Savlonn (talk) 19:56, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
