Dr Nitschke said seniors will resort to desperate measures should the Rudd Government restrict access to reliable voluntary euthanasia information through its proposed internet censorship. Last Saturday, Dr Nitschke welcomed 120 seniors to a suicide workshop in Toowong that featured a "hacking masterclass" showing seniors how to get around the proposed filter. "It was the biggest turnout we've had so far to a workshop," said Dr Nitschke, who has spent six months touring workshops across Australia, Europe and US. "Queensland is an area where we have a huge amount of interest. Where you see large gatherings of retired folk, this becomes a topic of great interest and importance."

The report notes that: Dr Nitschke said he has all but given up trying to legalise voluntary euthanasia in Australia, preferring to focus his efforts on the US, where his workshop numbers are doubling by the year.
