The Burning Question Series on "what is a good death" kicks off with renowned media figure Andrew Denton and disability advocate Rhonda Galbally.

Andrew and Rhonda will discuss the case for a voluntary euthanasia bill. Andrew 's experience with the prolonged and painful death of his father has mobilised him to champion the case for "going gently". Rhonda's distinguished career has included CEO of VicHealth, CEO of Our Community and currently Board member of NDIS.

Join us for what will be a thoughtful and provocative discussion on a topic of profound importance on 7th November. Book early and avoid disappointment.
