Queensland voluntary assisted dying legislation may not be complete by its May deadline.
This is the second deadline that would be missed by the Queensland Law Reform Commission, after the government extended the original February deadline.
"The commission will complete this complex review as soon as it reasonably can,” said Queensland Law Reform Commission Chair, Justice Peter Applegarth.
"It hopes that it will be able to report and provide well-drafted legislation by its reporting date of 10 May 2021.”
"However, the commission cannot exclude the possibility that its report and the requested draft legislation will not be complete at that date."
