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.
The lower house, which posted 44 votes in favour versus 12 against, was widely expected to pass the laws, but a vote later this month in the upper house is expected to be much closer.
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.
