For those approaching end-of-life, decisions made by politicians can have a profound effect. Here, we discuss with Dr Roger Hunt, a pioneer of palliative care and advisor on Ministerial Committee's around Australia, the implications and consequences of the current laws remaining. The AMA and 19 organisations are asking the federal parliament to repeal the law that effectively disallows health professionals to use Telehealth to assist in end-of-life decisions.
