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.....
