SBS will film the documentary on Tuesday March 23rd and 30th but extremely late, like 1 am -  in the morning.  Time to be confirmed in the guides.

Such an important social issue relegated to the most insignificant viewing time slot!  It tells the audience the importance that SBS places on people having informed choices about something that affects everyone who looks at it.

The initial joy I felt that voluntary euthanasia would be raised again in the minds of the public were dashed and made me feel quite depressed.

The awful awful truth is that I shouldn’t have expected anything more of them.   Death is not a subject Australian people feel comfortable in facing, yet it is inevitable and its timing unpredictable!

Why bother to film the documentary at all? knowing that the elderly sick and frail will mostly be unable to watch it?   The audience themselves who are facing end of life choices!  The politicians certainly won’t be sitting up to watch it and half the people don’t know how to use a video recorder and will have it timed for an earlier show anyhow as they go to bed!!
