A landmark assisted dying bill has passed through the lower house of Australia’s second-most populous state after a marathon all-night debate.
Lawmakers in Victoria discussed the voluntary euthanasia bill for 26 hours from Thursday morning until it was approved 47-37 in a vote on Friday.
It will only become law if it is supported in Victoria’s upper house.
Victoria will become Australia’s first state to legalise assisted dying if the next vote is successful.
