House of Representatives
Supplementary Order Paper
Tuesday, 30 July 2019
End of Life Choice Bill
Proposed amendment
Chris Penk, in Committee, to move the following amendment:
Clause 2
In clause 2, replace “12 months”
(page 2, line 5) with “3 years”
.
Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the End of Life Choice Bill to provide a sufficiently lengthy period of time between the passage of the Act and its effective date to enable various entities to prepare themselves. In particular:
organisations currently involved in providing actual health care (as distinct from assisted suicide and/or euthanasia) will require time to obtain legal advice regarding their obligations under this legislation; and
medical professionals unwilling to remain in a profession whose mandate will include the intentional causing of death will have a reasonable opportunity to train in another field and make that employment transition.
