Discussion Any Australians can fill me in on the current euthanasia bill debate going on in there?

I have been reading the news and i know that in Western Australia there is a bill to decriminalize assisted dying.
How will it fare?
Is it likely to be approved?
I'm in Europe, but i always like to know how the movement is faring in other places.
We had elections 2 weeks ago and the parties who support assisted dying are now a big majority on the parliament.
Plus the opposers lost a lot of representatives, so....

I doubt very much it will be approved. Same in the uk.

Is it still being discussed in the uk, too?
I don't get why a country that has been freed from the influence of the Church for so long still has such a conservative approach to this.
I'm really confident that it's going to happen here in the next 4 years and we're a catholic country.
Things are changing and so are people's way of thinking.
