South Australia is a step closer to having a voluntary assisted dying regime, after the state s upper house passed legislation overnight.
Members of the Legislative Council voted 14 votes to seven to pass a bill sponsored by Labor shadow attorney-general Kyam Maher and his lower house colleague Susan Close. Half way there, Mr Maher tweeted at 1.24am on Thursday after the conscience vote, which followed a long debate that began on Wednesday afternoon.
The bill now goes to the lower house for a final conscience vote by MPs and if it passes, SA will be the fourth state to legalise voluntary assisted dying laws.
