Western Australia has taken a step toward legalising voluntary euthanasia after the state parliament’s lower house easily passed proposed government laws on Tuesday night.

If the upper house passes the proposed legislation it would see WA become the second state in the country to adopt assisted dying laws, after Victoria.
