- LETTER FROM JOHN WASSENBERG 04/07/06 -

The article "Dying with dignity (Insight 1/7) states that new state Liberal leader Ted Baillieu indicates support on this issue, but will not seek to make it law unless "wide spread support" is evident. With almost three quarters of Victoria's population indicating support for legislation to be passed, we are at a loss as to why there is continued hesitation from the Leader of the Opposition. Does he want 90% or perhaps 100 per cent support?

In politics one has to stand up for what one believes in, regardless of what the statistics indicate. So, how about it Ted? Show us and the rest of Victoria what you are made of.

John Wassenberg, Rosebud
