Tasmanian Deputy Premier Lara Giddings served notice
that she intends to move that the Greens' Dying with
Dignity Bill 2009 be sent to a parliamentary committee
for study and public submissions. The Greens oppose the
move, arguing that it would impose unnecessary delay.
[A EuthaNEWSia reader reports that a separate move for
committee referral in the Upper House was defeated
Wednesday when only 4 of 15 members supported the
referral.]
