But people with terminal illness will no longer be subject to suicide prevention. And let’s be in no doubt that the 6 month rule will be extended so it covers people like me. I’ve learned to live with terminal illness but I fear for those newly diagnosed in future.

This woman is an example of the actual far right in this country. I have never seen anyone called far right by the media say anything as deranged as this. And yet she is lauded. What is happening to our society?

Within 5 years, ‘clean energy’ will create 400,000 new jobs? How? I’d love to see the evidence for this. Govt depts should not be putting out politicised pie in the sky numbers.

Thoughts and prayers for the poor civil servants who have to work for this woman, and no doubt have to listen to her talk about herself in every meeting.

What has Jess Philips actually done for women, where’s the evidence? I find it really distasteful that she has allowed this to become about her virtue rather than the victims of grooming and rape.

The double speak, the deceit and the gaslighting which proponents of this bill seem willing to engage in to achieve their aims has a name: evil.

Appalling response from Stephen Kinnock - they will die anyway, so what does it matter. Why on earth did he go in to politics - to facilitate the deaths of our most vulnerable?

On women alone: the EHRC says Assisted Death EIA did not explore how being a victim of domestic abuse or being a carer might be linked to assisted dying. As we said at the time. Unsafe bill and failure by government to explore this HUGE risk to women. Do we think inevitable

I’m very weary of hearing people talk about those with MND as if we all want to kill ourselves. We need proper research on whether any desire for assisted death persists with good palliative care. The PMB process has robbed us of such proper consideration.

A myth around assisted dying is that it is pain free. In fact, there is little research and no evidence. Deaths look peaceful because strong paralytic drugs are given. One of the drugs used in Aus has been shown to induce a sensation of drowning. What’s dignified about that?
