on the issue when the bill is introduced into parliament in the first few weeks of the new session. However, independent ACT senator David Pocock said he would remain committed to his own bill on territory rights, telling supporters he would introduce legislation into the Senate if the government did not move fast enough.
Cheyne said the ACT government was still considering details around conscientious objection for doctors and how the end-of-life process can begin, and would canvass those points in community consultations before any territory legislation was introduced.“The ACT legislative assembly is democratically elected by the people of Canberra,” she said. “It should have the right to legislate on this matter on behalf of Canberrans.
At a federal level, many parliamentarians were still weighing how they would vote. A similar territory rights bill in 2018, proposed by former senator David Leyonhjelm, saw most Coalition members vote no and most Labor members vote yes – but a small group from each side voted the opposite way.backed the territory rights push, while Labor members including Deb O’Neill, Helen Polley, Patrick Dodson and Don Farrell voted no.
