00:00The first time I got cancer it really snuck up on me so I concluded that what

00:06I'd do is I would get some hoses, attach them to the exhaust of my BMW and I'd

00:12wrap some foil around it so that the hoses didn't melt. I'd take a whole

00:16mouthful of Valiums, have a bottle of scotch and coke. Yeah, let's get on with it.

00:23You all look at me and think, is he really dying? Well I am. But if I believe what the

00:31doctors told me, I've got 10 weeks left. Quite clearly I've got more than 10 weeks

00:36left. A dying man has told a Senate inquiry he wants to control how and when he ends

00:43his life. Politicians and many in the medical profession are unaware of the damage that's

00:49being caused by the fact that we have no form of assisted dying.

00:56I'm in pain 24 hours a day. I don't want to go on living.

01:09People that oppose law reform in Australia are the same people that successfully rolled

01:13it 20 years ago. They have deep pockets, they operate out of the public eye in the back rooms

01:31Ten Commandments say thou shalt not kill. Doctors must never kill their patients.

01:36We have doctors breaking the law. Doctors could be prosecuted with murder.

01:42If you convict me, I've got a good defence.

01:46I've got a clot, a lethal clot that's going tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

01:51Peter is the type of bloke that's used to getting his own ways.

01:54I want you all to lead the issue.

01:56We can sit around and have some grandmother anecdotes or we can deal with some facts.

02:00The mayor will grow up and move on.

02:03Are these ideas so dangerous that we can't even have them discussed?

02:07I'm sure you can have a constitutional challenge.

02:09The next step will be to challenge your fucking constitution.

02:13You're going to get when this kid's filming.
