Liberty Forum #22: LIFE AND DEATH in VICTORIA
About
Join our final Liberty Forum for 2025 for a critical look at the consequences of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Amendment Bill 2025 and its terrible overreach in Victoria.The Bill, which passed the lower house 67-14, shatters the original "tough safeguards" by legislating a steep slippery slope.
Key concerns include:
- Allowing medical practitioners (beyond doctors) to initiate discussions about VAD, posing a risk of wrongful death.
- Crushing the conscience of pro-life practitioners by compelling them to provide VAD information.
- Doubling the prognosis eligibility from six to twelve months, moving VAD beyond truly 'end-of-life' care.
- Removing safety checks like the third doctor review for neurodegenerative cases.
Hear from leading voices who stood against this expansion of powers:
- Chris Crewther MP (Member for Mornington, Opposition Whip, Shadow Assistant Minister for Public Transport & Multicultural Affairs– One of only 8 Liberal MPs to vote NO).
- Dr Rachel Carling (President, Pro Life Victoria, former MLC for Western Metropolitan Region).
- Dr Steve Parnis (Emergency Physician, Former President AMA Victoria).
A light supper will be served.
Come, bring a friend, understand and discuss the immediate threat and stand for life!
