Territory Rights are now restored!

We’ve done it. After 25 years, the discriminatory laws which prohibited the ACT and NT from legislating on voluntary assisted dying are now a thing of the past.
 
Today, my bill co-sponsored by my NT colleague Luke Gosling passed on the voices with a clear majority.
 
This follows the overwhelming vote in the House of Representatives earlier this year where 99 members voted for the bill.
 
In past parliaments, debate on this issue was not even allowed in the lower house, making this important reform impossible. 
 
Due to the support of the new Labor Government and Prime Minister Albanese, that reality has changed. 
 
Today, Canberrans are no longer discriminated against because of their postcode. 
 
After a long fight, we’ve finally got it done.
 
To all my constituents to whom this matters so much, I’m proud that our Parliament has now delivered.
