Official statistics show WA is the euthanasia capital of Australia with VAD racking up 2.9% of all deaths, 10 times higher than predicted, with concern about pain not the main reason in most cases.

Scary. Western society will eventually turn end-of-life care into a version of the 1970s movie ‘Logan’s Run’
Our 83-year-old Christian grandmother was euthanised against her will under Canada's assisted dying system - she died covered in blood with her hands clasped in prayer trib.al/vqrDMuf

MAiD is like AI. Once it is introduced, even if only some choose to use it and many choose not to, its introduction fundamentally changes the social operating system for everyone. Many resist AI because they understand this clearly. It is the same for MAiD.

Fat little wild budgies 🙂
This is the natural colour of budgerigars. You don't find blue, purple, etc budgies in the wild.
Also, Americans call these 'parakeets'. Most Australians won't recognise that bird name. (It took me ages to work out that parakeets were actually budgies.)
Northern #Australia is quite hostile - vast uninhabited coastline; few people; huge #crocodiles, #sharks, poisonous #jellyfish & snakes; gigantic landmass
Need I go on?

Sturt desert peas near Roxby Downs.
Indigenous actor Mark Coles Smith was born in Kalgoorlie and has Sturt desert peas as his totem. He explains that they are called Malu Kuru Kuru. Kangaroo Eyes. A Western Desert name for them. The eyes of the flower see in all directions.

This is a shockingly explicit instance of ableism motivating euthanasia of a non-terminal 2 year old in the Netherlands. Killing this child was justified by being insufficiently human: lack of expected improvement with regard to impaired motor skills, behavior, and personality.

In 1994, an Australian park ranger abseiled into a remote sandstone gorge near Sydney and found a tree he didn't recognise.
Astonishingly, it belonged to a genus thought to have vanished from the landscape literally millions of years ago: the Wollemi pine.
