I thank the witnesses for their contributions. I have a couple of questions. In Dr. Nitschke’s contribution, he said that in the 1990s, he was working as a doctor in Darwin and he was one of the very few members of the medical profession who supported the introduction of the law. Considering the decades of experience Dr. Nitschke has in that space, has he seen that drastically change in terms of the profession itself?
