On Thursday, me and other disabled activists met w/ @SenatorJordon about our concerns with euthanasia (VAD) in Australia. Queensland's law takes effect 1 January, and the likely passage of the Restoring Territory Rights Bill 2022 means ACT & NT will be able to pass similar laws. If you're a progressive or somewhere on the left and you're wondering why disabled people are less than enthusiastic about euthanasia "victories," I urge you to read the thread rather than dismiss disabled people's experiences out of hand.
