The Queensland Law Reform Commission has submitted its draft Laws for Voluntary Assisted Dying to state parliament.

 

Commission chair Justice Peter Applegarth says rather than being a decision on legalising assisted dying, the submissions merely outline the nature of any potential laws should they gain public and government support.

 

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk made fast-tracking euthanasia laws a key election promise last year and has set the implementation deadline for August 2022.
