Has an election promise been put to sleep?

The State Labor Government has already broken an election promise, pushing back a February deadline to introduce voluntary assisted dying laws to Parliament. And there s a question mark over whether it will even meet its new deadline, with the Queensland Law Reform Commission saying only that it hopes to meet its May 10 reporting date, having initially requested a July extension. Acting Premier Steven Miles partly blamed the recent caretaker arrangements for the delay, saying the commission was unable to consult on the issue during the October election campaign. But in a veiled criticism of Labor s election pledge, commission chair Justice Peter Applegarth said the complex work the body had been asked to undertake would normally take 15 to 18 months, and it had only started in July.
