Voluntary assisted dying legal nationwide after laws pass NT parliament | ABC NEWS

The Northern Territory Parliament has passed voluntary assisted dying (VAD) legislation in a conscience vote. The bill's passage brings the NT into line with the rest of Australia, meaning VAD is now legal throughout the country.

Almost all of the NT's parliamentarians were in favour of legalising VAD, though some introduced amendments to the bill that were ultimately rejected. Jack Hislop has this update for ABC News Northern Territory.
