Europe to boycott next World Cup + Inside the telehealth death debate

from The Briefing · host LiSTNR

Friday Headlines:  US completes ‘heavy wave’ of strikes against Iran  Australian family beg for government help as son faces death penalty in Syria Labor housing plan already 100,000 homes behind schedule UEFA agrees to boycott FIFA competitions over controversial World Cup sell-off plans Revealed: Neil the Seal's damage and care bill Deep Dive: A new push is starting for access to Voluntary Assisted Dying to be expanded to telehealth services, in a move that advocates say would directly benefit people living in the regions or who are too sick to travel.  Labor this week endorsed a change in law that'd lift a ban on the practice, but the Prime Minister doesn't agree, saying allowing it would threaten the strict safeguards in place to ensure VAD is only accessed by people who genuinely want and need it.  In this episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt is joined by Go Gentle spokesperson Andrew Denton to discuss why there's a debate on this issue and what's next in the fight to allow VAD via telehealth.  Follow The Briefing: TikTok: @thebriefingpodInstagram: @thebriefingpodcast YouTube: @TheBriefingPodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
