Voluntary Assisted Dying

The Hon. L.A. HENDERSON (15:06): Did the minister intend for prisoners, including paedophiles, to be able to access voluntary assisted dying, allowing them to end their term of imprisonment early while their victims have life sentences, as a key proponent of this legislation?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:07): A two-thirds majority in this chamber and the other chamber voted for the voluntary assisted dying scheme we have in South Australia—how it works, how it operates and the qualifications for it.
