The Senate will debate a private member’s bill this week to repeal Australia’s legalisation of voluntary euthanasia.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has vocalised his opposition to this bill by urging Senators to “vote with their conscience”.
Consideration for this bill will begin on Tuesday, with LNP Senator David Leyonhjelm confirming his support in exchange for reviving the Australian Building and Construction Commission.
This also led former Prime Minister Tony Abbott to suggest “secret deals” were being done.
