Episode Details

Tensions are boiling in the Northern Territory parliament as backbencher Tanzil Rahman clashes with his own party over the voluntary assisted dying bill, calling it too restrictive and urging amendments to scrap the 12-month prognosis rule and doctor-patient conversation bans — moves he says contradict his own inquiry’s recommendations. Deputy Chief Minister Gerard Maley fires back, accusing Rahman of inconsistency and criticizing public political debate, while only a few MPs signal support for Rahman’s changes. With the bill headed for a conscience vote and the Opposition also eyeing amendments, the outcome remains uncertain — especially in a territory that legalized this issue in 1995 before losing that power until 2022.
