Every day too many Queenslanders along with their families and carers, experience the pain, the distress and the struggle of untreatable or terminal illness.
Each month on average, at least seven Queenslanders who are suffering from a terminal, or chronic or degenerative condition commits suicide.
The 2020 Queensland Parliamentary Report into Voluntary Assisted Dying recommends that Voluntary Assisted Dying be legalised and be accessible to Queenslanders, with specific safeguards in place for patients and medical practitioners.
We call on all MPs to commit to supporting Voluntary Assisted Dying for Queenslanders.
Who's signing
I’ve had a stroke. I was hallucinating, couldn’t make a decision, couldn’t speak, write , walk.
People looked at me like I was a monster.
I’m an old, white, intelligent woman… everything hated in this country. Pauline Hanson wants me to disappear.
I’m constantly treated like a fool. The last time I was sexually assaulted was when I was 72. In hospital by a male patient. I was there for a heart operation .
The last time I was bashed up was January 2020 when I was 74. The person was a woman who falsely claims she is my carer. She broke into my house at night, bashed me up, stole all my phones and left me bruised, in shock , fearing another heart attack or stroke with no means of communication.
The police didn’t believe it happened like that!
I attempted suicide.
Next time I’d appreciate having the option of having someone to talk it over with…. time to consider…. time to make sure that that’s what I really want.!!!
