PAPER

MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General): For the information of members, I present a revised edition of the information bulletin relating to patient activity data for the Calvary Public Hospital for June 1997.

AUDITOR-GENERAL (AMENDMENT) BILL 1997

Debate resumed from 9 April 1997, on motion by Ms Tucker:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

Debate (on motion by Mrs Carnell) adjourned.

EUTHANASIA REFERENDUM BILL 1997

[COGNATE BILLS:

CRIMES (ASSISTED SUICIDE) BILL 1997
MEDICAL TREATMENT (AMENDMENT) BILL 1996]

Debate resumed from 24 September 1997, on motion by Mr Moore:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

MR SPEAKER: Is it the wish of the Assembly to debate this order of the day concurrently with the Crimes (Assisted Suicide) Bill 1997 and the Medical Treatment (Amendment) Bill 1996? There being no objection, that course will be followed. I remind members that in debating order of the day No. 2 they may also address their remarks to orders of the day Nos 3 and 4.

MR BERRY (Leader of the Opposition) (3.58): The first Bill in this trio is the Euthanasia Referendum Bill. Mr Moore sets out here to have a referendum in the Australian Capital Territory to deal with two questions. The first is:

Do you believe that voluntary active euthanasia should be permitted by law?
