LNP attempts to control MPs decision in conscience vote
LNP Women has put forward a resolution to the Queensland LNP Convention this week that, if passed, would have all party MPs vote ‘no’ in the conscience vote to pass Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) legislation in Queensland.
Electrical Trades Union (ETU) Assistant State Secretary and Labor for Dignity Co-Conveyor Stuart Traill says this will result in MPs voting against the wishes of their electorate, as there is significant community support for VAD.
“80% of Queenslanders support passing VAD legislation,” says Mr Traill. “To have your party vote one way not only defeats the purpose of the conscience vote, it also means MPs will be voting against the interest of their constituents.
