In national news, Euthanasia became legal in Australia this week in over two decades with Victoria’s first jurisdiction opening the way for ill patients to end their life with medical assistance.  

The state government describes it as the safest way with 67 safeguards to ensure only eligible patients can die with medical help.

It is the first time Euthanasia is allowed in Australia since Northern Territory legalised it two decades ago which was quickly overturned by the parliament.
