One last push to get Voluntary Assisted Dying passed in NSW

One last push to get Voluntary Assisted Dying passed in NSW

WILL NSW PARLIAMENT EVER PASS THE ASSISTED DYING BILL?

There is now a real possibility that the NSW Upper House could pass the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill this month.

Based on the MPs who have spoken so far, we have a small majority in support - but the numbers are tight. Success could come down to one or two votes.

There are a handful of MPs who have not yet disclosed their position. We need to get them over the line.

Will you send a message to the remaining Upper House MPs to ask for their support?

Things you might mention:

  • There is overwhelming public support for VAD
  • NSW is now the only state without a VAD law
  • Their vote could determine the success of the Bill
  • For dying people, every day matters
  • Share a personal story if you have one

The last NSW VAD Bill failed by one vote in 2017. We can’t let this happen again.
