FamilyVoice Australia is appalled by a Queensland parliamentary recommendation to legalise euthanasia and assisted suicide when many Australians are experiencing severe anxiety during the corona pandemic.

“While euthanasia and assisted suicide are never appropriate policies they are especially appalling when Australians are experiencing severe anxiety during the corona pandemic,” said FamilyVoice spokesman David d’Lima.

“The Queensland parliamentary committee has foolishly recommended suicide should be available to people facing depression or anxiety – as if they are unfit to manage those conditions.

“Millions of Australians are vulnerable to sickness and economic ruin, while Queensland Labor politicians are effectively endorsing suicide.

“Politicians who endorse suicide among the elderly and unwell should hang their heads in shame.”
