Voluntary Assisted Dying Amendment Bill 2025: second reading

Voting yes supported replacing the second reading motion with one refusing to read the Voluntary Assisted Dying Amendment Bill 2025 a second time until more time and broader consultation are given.

Passed67 yes 16 no

The question put

That all the words after ‘That’ be omitted and replaced with the words ‘this house refuses to read this bill a second time until adequate time is given to allow full consideration of the anticipated and unintended consequences of changes to the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2017 and until further and broader consultation is undertaken.’

Free vote. Liberal was split, which usually means members could vote their conscience, so nobody here is counted as voting against their party.

How each party voted

Members who didn't vote (absent, paired or in the chair) aren't listed. A party votes as one when at least three quarters of its members vote together.
