The Queensland Law Reform Commission has been asked by the Queensland Government to develop an appropriate legislative scheme for voluntary assisted dying legislation in Queensland.
COTA Australia’s Chief Executive, Ian Yates, expressed COTA’s deep concern that the objective work of the expert Retirement Income Review is being politicised before the public has even had the chance to look at it.
