I support the Greens’ motion. I believe this motion should be brought on for debate. There have not been reforms in relation to dealing with private member’s business. In the absence of that, it is important that we have a mechanism in place to deal with private member’s bills such as this. Whilst I support the bill, I am implacably opposed to voluntary euthanasia. But this bill is about territory rights and ensuring that the ACT and Northern Territory legislatures have an opportunity to vote on legislation such as this if they wish to.
