NT residents, it's time to make your voice heard
Ask NT politicians to make VAD a priority
NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro says making voluntary assisted dying (VAD) legal is not a priority for her government. But dying people don't have time to wait.
The NT was the first in the country to have a law for voluntary euthanasia in 1995. But now it's the last.
Every other state and the ACT already has a law for what's now known as VAD.
Will you email your local politician to ask them to take urgent action on VAD?

3. Share your story with us
Politicians care about you, the voters. If you feel comfortable, please share your story of why you want the law to change on VAD. It might be a personal experience, or perhaps you saw a loved one die badly. In other states, these stories have been the single most effective way to influence politicians.
