Remember this one. In five years, or ten, or twenty. When we're a weird, dirty, backward nation that still sets fire to stuff, and places like China and India start to ask us why.

It really baffles me why some think it's okay to be shitty to a generation of young people who gave up THE MOST to protect their elders, have had THE CRUELLEST possible transition to adulthood, are getting THE LEAST amount of state help, and are facing THE WORST future prospects.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill has passed its Second Reading.

A historic first step to meet the aspirations of the public, who overwhelmingly support having choice, dignity, and compassion at the end of their lives.
