Australia's first, safest, and most conservative voluntary assisted dying scheme is booming. In Victoria, demand has skyrocketed, and the Labor government plans to loosen safeguards and make it easier for even more people to access services. 

I am deeply thankful to Pope Leo XIV for honest, blunt talk about the most troubling questions the human race now faces on assisted suicide, abortion, birth rates and the sexual revolution.

In an Australia first, the ACT Labor government is considering assisted suicide for patients who lose decision-making capacity — alarming pro-life groups who have long warned of a slippery slope regarding euthanasia.

The head of the Tuscan Bishops’ Conference said the passage of a new law in Italy allowing medically assisted suicide was “not an achievement, but a defeat for everyone.”

Regrettably and importantly, the assisted dying bill gives no direction as to what the doctor should do if the “lethal” dose does not, in fact, kill the patient. This will certainly happen and it needs to be specified if the bill is to become law.

MPs in the British Parliament have voted for Kim Leadbeater’s Assisted Dying Bill on its second reading by 330 votes for to 275 against. It is highly appropriate that this Bill should have passed its second reading on “Black Friday”.

Australia’s Capital Territory is considering a proposal to expand its voluntary assisted dying scheme so that those with reduced mental capacity can consent to their death by euthanasia.

Apart from having the highest death rate, Queensland also has the title of the first coronial inquest into a wrongful death under its euthanasia laws. 

The Country Liberal Party has stormed to victory in the NT election. Hidden from the major headlines – but more important – is the story of prayer behind it.

New South Wales will soon be the “death capital” of Australia’s new euthanasia reality, with statistics showing the state has the highest rate of “voluntary assisted dying” deaths in the country. 

The Australian Capital Territory has passed the nation’s most extreme voluntary assisted dying laws, after last-minute attempts by Liberal MPs to pass amendments were defeated. The Legislative Assembly passed the bill on 5 June, and the law will come into effect on 3 November 2025.

The Northern Territory Government is currently holding an inquiry into assisted suicide and euthanasia (doctor-initiated death). Speak up for life on this tragic issue by 1 March.

Euthanasia advocates originally argued that legalising assisted suicide would lead to less elder suicides.

When euthanasia was legalised for the terminally ill, it was inevitable that it would be expanded to include children and people with disabilities. The slippery slope is not a fallacy: it's a prophecy. 

The culture of death clearly surrounds us in Australia. All States of the Federation have now legalised some form of Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD).

The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is on the brink of implementing the most permissive euthanasia laws in the country, perpetuating a concerning culture of death.

A doctor from Victoria, Nicholas Carr, recently asked the Federal Court to rule that “voluntary assisted dying” is not suicide. The judge, Justice Wendy Abraham, refused.

I believe that transgenderism is, like euthanasia, yet another offshoot of the abortion industry and that we will continue to see more attacks against life, each new one crueller than the last.

The history of the world is the history of nations that are conquered by other nations or collapse into anarchy.

ACT Human Rights Minister Tara Cheyne said that the government was considering allowing children as young as 14 to access voluntary assisted dying.
