David Seymour: ACT Leader on euthanasia oversights

View descriptionShare

Two former members of a committee tasked with checking over assisted deaths to ensure the law worked as it should say the system is so broken they wouldn't have known if someone had wrongly died. 

Doctors Jane Greville and Dana Wensley repeatedly raised concerns about incomplete information about a patient's health and the risk of coercion. 

In one case, a patient with suspected dementia who could not speak English was approved for assisted dying without a translator in the room. 

ACT Leader David Seymour was behind the End of Life Choice Act and joins Jack Tame to discuss how this happened.
