New South Wales (NSW) will once again be
subjected to an attempt to legalise euthanasia, it was reported in May.
Catherine Faehrmann MP (Greens NSW
Party) in late April announced her intention
to submit legislation titled Rights of the
Terminally Ill Bill 2013 for NSW’s Upper
House to discuss. Previous such attempts in
NSW have been defeated by a wide range of
cross-party opposition.
China: seriously ill
Morning Star News
Gong Shengliang, imprisoned since 2001
for his leadership of the South China
Church movement, is suffering from lack of
medical treatment after a stroke, according
to his daughter.
In an April 23 open letter to Chinese
President Xi Jinping, Gong Huali stated
that her father suffered a ‘cerebral infarction’
(ischemic stroke) late last year which has
rendered him unable to walk or speak.
‘Because [of] the complete absence of minimal medical care, his cerebral and cerebellum functions have been severely affected …
His life is in serious danger.’ She has asked
for him to be released on bail for urgent
medical treatment.
