How do we address it separately? I think it needs to be built in otherwise people will request death due to poverty and lack of support. Disabled people already feel their lives are not valued. Governments must be required to provide necessary supports before assisted dying is approved.

You do have a right to a voice. The worry is that disabled people are denied proper supports while being given the option of assisted dying. There are a number of such cases where people have requested (and been granted) assisted dying motivated by their awful living conditions. That's disturbing.

The condition must be expected to cause death. ACT IS more liberal than other jurisdictionS but it does not cover disability and chronic conditions. There has been huge controversy in Canada over assisted dying for such conditions. Most disability advocates and groups are adamantly opposed to it

If only you were in a position to do something about it that was more effective than putting a present under a tree - like raising welfare payments to the poverty line. Oh, wait...

That's a rhetorical question, right!

I hope it holds but I suspect it is just a temporary pause in the genocide. Once Israel has the hostages they will break the ceasefire. Any excuse will do.

Did the police talk about fearing "crowd crush" back then? I don't think so.

I doubt it. The police just didn't like losing in court.

So Tony is in favour of letting politicians tell us what we are allowed to protest about!

Yeah. Don't remember police panicking about "crowd crush" during the reconciliation march either. What could explain this sudden concern?

What! They're blocking off the bridge so the bridge doesn't get blocked by protestors? Makes sense.

I don't agree with John Ruddock about much - pretty much nothing prior to this - but objecting to genocide really shouldn't be a left right issue and, unlike the LNP,Ruddock doesn't try to turn it into a culture war.

What do you count as antisemitism? If you consider opposition to Israel's slaughter and program of deliberate starvation of 2 million people in the (ILLEGALLY) occupied territories as antisemitic then, yeah, it's everywhere. Get used to it.

They had better. They voted out better because they prefer a charlatan who proudly supports genocide.

I think my MP, Daniel Mulino, has either blocked me or diverted my emails to trash. I no longer get even the courtesy of an automated acknowledgement. I must be a crazy lady to be so obsessed with genocide. So much for representative democracy!
