I implore federal members, many of whom are participating in the debate right at this second, so many of them representing the interests of a state and not our territory, to set aside their own personal feelings about voluntary assisted dying, ones which we respect and know are deeply held, and realise that what this is about is allowing all citizens in our country to participate in democracy equally. Would they want the citizens in the state they represent to have fewer rights? Would they accept that? I think not. So why should we? (Time expired.)

The Assembly adjourned at 5.40 pm.
