Greens MP support
On 29th March 2007 during the debate on voluntary euthanasia, Greens MP, Hon Mark Parnell, made the following statements in support of SAVES:
‘On the topic of voluntary euthanasia, one of the organizations I was pleased to join last year, in my capacity as a newly elected member of parliament, was the South Australian Voluntary Euthanasia Society, and I am encouraged, when I see the members of that society one Friday a month on the steps of Parliament House, that they are reminding us that the issue is not going away.
I am also conscious that a large number of members of both this and the other place have been working on this issue for many years and that I am very much a Johnny-come-lately, but I am encouraged that there are enough members in both houses with a conviction to ensure that this issue does not disappear. I look forward to working with those members over the remainder of my time here to ensure that we do eventually get legislation in this place that provides for death with dignity’.
SAVES shares Mr Parnell’s views and looks forward to a successful working relationship with him.
