Just putting aside the rights and wrongs of euthanasia for a moment
Iain, do you realise the implications of the arrogance of the
statement you've just made?  I mean, if you don't agree with the
system of democratic government we have in this country just because
they passed a law that you feel goes against popular opinion (but more
probably simply on the basis that you feel they are 'wrong'), either
move country or start a revolution.

And for all that are complaining about how unrepresentative the Senate
is, what was the margin on the original passing of the RTI Act in the
NT parliament?  The number "one" comes to mind.....
