SAVES is not affiliated with Exit International / Dr Philip Nitschke and opposes the public availability of a 'peaceful pill'.

Due to the generous Arthur Cys bequest, SAVES has taken the opportunity to update the SAVES mobile display which had been in public circulation since 1983, after the launch by SAVES Founding President the late Sir Mark Oliphant. The new light- weight construction, contemporary design and revised content will serve the society well into the future.

The display launch was held at the Adelaide Circulating Library on September 15th, with approximately sixty invited guests and members attending. SAVES is appreciative of the assistance provided by the library which had the display and other SAVES material on view to the public for one month. The Hon Dr Bob Such launched the display and the Hon Sandra Kanck also addressed the audience on her quest for law reform. Dr Such argued that those who opposed law reform felt the need to exert control over the lives of others and were statistically in the minority, albeit a powerful minority.

SAVES President Frances Coombe spoke passionately about the ongoing role of the society in lobbying for law reform over the past 23 years. The society wishes to sincerely thank….. for catering and Helen Jones for taking photographs of the occasion. The display will now be booked into libraries and will be used at public functions and awareness days as a valuable adjunct in achieving the society’s aim.
