The Honourable Robert Clark is a former Attorney-General in Victoria, Australia. He has deep knowledge of the Victorian government’s Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation and its effects.

His comments reveal that the claim made this week in The Economist that the “takeaway from Victoria’s regime, after five-and-a-half years in operation, is that a law that looks an awful lot like Ms Leadbeater’s bill can be implemented safely” is far from the reality.
