I have a number of questions for Dr. Mewett. In relation to the states of Australia, it is my understanding New South Wales legislated and, as of today, people in New South Wales can avail of assisted dying. I think they are looking at legislation in Canberra. Is there any kind of difference in criteria in each of the states? My other question to Dr. Mewett is regarding the last line of his presentation, and I think it is really important that he says this. He says that these people are not suicidal and are without exception offended by the implication of mental illness. That is really important, because it is highly offensive to conflate those two issues.
