HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED IN THE CAMPAIGN FOR VOLUNTARY ASSISTED DYING LAWS IN NSW
JESSICA’S STORY
My father died in February 2018 after fighting mesothelioma to the
bitter end for the better part of two years.
In the final months of his life he was in a great deal of pain, could barely
eat or drink and could not breathe or function without the support of
the oxygen machine.
When Dad died the first feeling I had was not sadness but a feeling of
immense relief. Relief that his suffering was done, relief that he no
longer needed to be poked and prodded by palliative care staff for no
good reason and relief from a feeling that we had somehow failed him
by letting him suffer the way he did in his final days. I can’t help but feel
that if Dad had been given the opportunity to choose his time and his
way, those final days would have been drastically different.
My hope for the future is that for all those
families who face a similar fate, the NSW
Parliament gives them the opportunity to
do it with dignity and with the least amount
of pain and suffering possible.
A voluntary assisted dying law would have
allowed Jessica’s father the right to ask his
doctor for medication to end his life quickly
and peacefully.
Please help us change the law to give terminally ill people the
choice to die without suffering.
This booklet contains advocacy tools you can use to
help our campaign for voluntary assisted dying laws in
New South Wales.
HOW CAN YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE? The most important thing you can do is to contact members of the NSW Parliament and ask them to vote for voluntary assisted dying laws. In late 2017 a Bill to legalise voluntary assisted dying was introduced in the NSW Parliament. It was debated in the upper house but was defeated by just one vote. It is disappointing that MPs refused to pass these important laws which are supported by 85% of the community (Roy Morgan Survey, Nov. 2017). We hope that another Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill will be introduced in the current term of Parliament. MPs are expected to be given a “conscience” vote. This means that they are free to consider the wishes of their electorate when determining how to vote and to form their own views about assisted dying laws. When MPs hear from their constituents on an issue we have the power to influence their vote, especially when it comes to end of life choices that will touch the lives of every one of us. Your personal stories can be a very powerful way to persuade your MP to vote for assisted dying laws. Politicians need to be reminded that this is an important issue for most Australians. The more they hear, the more confident they will be to support and push for the debate in Parliament. You can help spread the word by raising awareness in the community and encouraging your friends and family to contact their Member of Parliament. Dying with Dignity NSW will be with you every step of the way. We can provide training and advice to help you take action. Now is the time to act. Can we count on you?
HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR
LOCAL MP
Your local MP is your representative in the NSW Legislative
Assembly (lower house) which has 92 members, each
representing an electorate. They will be your voice in Parliament in
relation to voluntary assisted dying laws. The 42 members of NSW
Legislative Council (upper house) are elected by the whole State rather
than a single electorate. The upper house is similar to the Senate in
Federal Parliament.
The best way you can make an impact is to get in touch with the lower
house MP for your electorate. You can look up your NSW electorate on
this website https://roll.elections.nsw.gov.au/areafinder/
At the back of this booklet is a list of NSW electorates
with contact details for lower house and
upper house MPs.
WRITE TO YOUR LOCAL MP
Letters can be powerful, especially if they include your own personal
experiences with death and dying. If you are a healthcare professional
please mention this.
Put pen to paper or write an email to tell your local MP why you support
voluntary assisted dying laws. Consider including a photograph perhaps
from a happier time so MPs realise we are talking about real people.
Handwritten letters and personal emails are most effective. However, you
can use this online tool to send a quick email to your MP.
https://dwdnsw.good.do/MP2020/
Please be sure to use a respectful tone when explaining your reasons for
supporting assisted dying laws.
See our website for a letter writing guide and background information
about assisted dying laws: dwdnsw.org.auCALL YOUR LOCAL MP
Members of Parliament receive phone calls from
constituents every day. They actively encourage
members of the community to get in touch to share their
views. So why not pick up the phone and let them know how
you feel?
It can be as simple as saying “Hi, I’m calling to ask my local MP to support
voluntary assisted dying laws.” You can also share your personal story.
You can ask your local MP to meet with you so you can tell them why you
want them to support voluntary assisted dying laws.
THINGS TO ASK YOUR MP
When you contact your MP, ask them to:
• confirm that they will consider the wishes of the electorate when voting
on voluntary assisted dying laws
• confirm that they will review the evidence and listen to the experts and
cast their vote based on the facts
• commit to support the introduction of another assisted dying bill as
soon as possible
• ensure a respectful debate
• respect the separation of church and state and not allow the religious
views of the minority to determine the end of life choices available to
dying people.
If you’re unsure about what to say or you would like
someone to read over your letter before you send it,
get in touch volunteers@dwdnsw.org.au or phone
(02) 9212 4782.WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITORS
OF NEWSPAPERS
We know members of parliament take an interest in the
content of newspapers, especially in regional areas. Your letter
can have a significant impact and encourage others to take action.
We also encourage you to write to The Sydney Morning Herald and the
Daily Telegraph. You can also make on-line comments on a newspaper’s
website or Facebook page.
At the back of this booklet are details for
newspapers to contact.
Hints for getting your letter published – get in early and be concise
Provide contact details – Give your full name, address and phone
number.
Give your qualifications – If you are a healthcare worker or minster of
religion, please mention this.
Keep it short – Letters should be no longer than 150-200 words.
Get in early – Send your letter in the early morning (especially for the
Sydney Morning Herald).
Keep it simple – Try to make just one or two clear points.
Quality over quantity – Don’t bombard the editors. A few good letters will
be more effective than sending lots of messages.
Keep it civil – Be respectful and polite, especially if you are writing about
your local member of parliament.
Keep it relevant – Your letter should refer to a recent story in the paper or
respond to another published letter.
Keep it exclusive – Don’t copy your letter to other newspapers.CALL TALK BACK RADIO
Talk back radio has a lot of listeners in NSW and can be
very influential with politicians. Why not get your
message out to a broader audience and encourage
listeners to contact their MPs too?
Calls to 2GB and ABC Radio Sydney are especially effective. You can
also send them text messages.
At the back of this booklet are phone numbers for the
major talk back radio stations.
VOLUNTEER AT A COMMUNITY STALL
You might have seen us at a community stall at a shopping centre or local
market. Maybe that’s where you picked up this booklet. Being visible in
the community helps us recruit new supporters and raise the profile of our
campaign. As the campaign intensifies we’ll be running even more stalls.
HELP US ON THE PHONES
Members of Parliament aren’t the only people we need to call. Dying with
Dignity NSW has thousands of supporters and we need your help to
encourage them to join the campaign. You can help out from home and
one of our volunteer leaders will provide you with all of the training and
information you need to get started.
To help with phoning or volunteer at a stall, contact
volunteers@dwdnsw.org.au or phone (02) 9212 4782.

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and share our posts to help

There is nothing more powerful than a one on one conversation with
someone you know.
Help us spread the word. The time for action is now. Talk to your family,
friends and colleagues and tell them what’s going on. Encourage them to
step up and contact their Members of Parliament or volunteer with you.
You can also spread the word on your social media. Share your story on
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram alongside a photo for the most powerful
impact. If you don’t have any photos, you can take a picture of yourself
holding the sign on the back cover of this booklet.
