| | Queensland Right To Life - LEGALISED EUTHANASIA IN THE NT OF AUSTRALIA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | The Chief Minister, Marshall Perron, the sponsor of the ROTI Bill, was quick to reject this claim, saying that the Parliaments of the rest of the Australian States and the Australian Capital Territory would soon follow suit and legalise voluntary euthanasia. |
 | | Perron was a giant in Northern Territory politics and he still commands considerable political influence, including great influence over his successor, Shane Stone. |
 | | Stone, a practising Catholic and a lawyer, led the campaign against the ROTI Bill and the ruling Country Liberal Party was split on the issue, with a conscience vote being allowed by both Government and the Australian Labor Party Opposition. |
