Labor’s national conference just voted to remove federal barriers to voluntary assisted dying, including allowing telehealth consultations — but with a major caveat: a conscience vote guarantee, mirroring their abortion policy. The move sparks fierce debate over accessibility versus safeguarding vulnerable people, especially in rural areas, where telehealth could widen access — or open doors to abuse. While the motion passed, the conscience vote means individual MPs will have final say, turning this into a deeply personal and politically charged issue. The party’s stance now leans toward expanding access, but with a firm commitment to clinical safeguards and evidence-based implementation.
