Current law lags significantly behind the will of the people.

Parliament Rally

Steve Guest |
DWDV's annual Steve Guest Day rally will be held on Wed 14th April at noon on the steps of Parliament House in Spring Street.
The rally, honouring Steve Guest who died after suffering oesophageal cancer in 2005, is in support of the right of those suffering intolerably and without relief from a terminal illness or the advanced stage of an incurable illness, and to let politicians know that reform to permit physician assisted dying is well overdue.
