Board to review SA assisted dying laws

Led by psychiatrist Melanie Turner, it will establish the processes and procedures needed before the new provisions begin, retrospectively monitor assisted dying assessments, promote continuous improvement, and ensure the functions and powers of all people involved comply with the act.

Amanda’s conservatorship began in 2013 when she was involuntarily committed to a Pasadena psychiatric treatment facility following a public meltdown involving a string of bizarre run-ins with the law dating back to 2012.

People keep talking about Britain heading the same way as Greece or Italy.
But we’re already there. Politically speaking, the Tory party is Italy: a rag-tag grouping of warring factions so busy arguing and briefing against each other I wouldn’t trust them to agree what day of the week it is, let alone reach a consensus on electing a new leader.

SHANGHAI, Sept 16 (Reuters) – China’s stock benchmarks dropped over 1% on Thursday, with property and banking stocks leading the slide on fears that debt-ridden developer China Evergrande Group’s financial troubles would trigger a broad contagion.

So really, it doesn’t matter who replaces Truss. The party is so far out of whack, so far gone in terms of credibility, he or she is doomed to failure.
And if that’s the case, then why bother? If you’ve already written off the car, why go to the effort of changing a tyre?

She’s already shot to pieces, her colleagues will have reasoned, so she might as well provide cover until they figure out what to do next. Politics is a nasty business at the best of times, ruthless when the going gets tough.

Wise Tory heads know this. They know that the next two years are not really about delivering on manifesto commitments and preparing to fight an election in the hope of winning a fifth term — although they will of course go through the motions.

The Conservatives have simply run out of road. The next election is only a couple of years or so away. And much of that time is going to be dominated by soaring living costs and struggling markets, even before you’ve factored in a potential resurgence of Covid, more threats from Vladimir Putin and whatever other curve balls the universe has in store for us in these turbulent times.

JERUSALEM, March 21 (Reuters) – Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who has been trying to mediate an end to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, said on Monday that despite some progress big gaps remained between the sides.

** With Beijing prioritising “Common Prosperity” over freewheeling economic growth, “the investment lens through which global investors evaluate opportunities in China has changed and the strategies deployed towards investing in the Middle Kingdom need to adapt accordingly,” wrote Norman Vilamin, CIO of Wealth Management at Union Bancaire Privee (UBP).

As MPs plot grassroots… Millions of Britons face missing out on 10% pension hike to… Bombshell poll finds over half of Tory MEMBERS want Truss to… ‘Jeremy Hunt is Liz Truss’s rescuer – or her coffin nail’:… So who could replace Liz Truss?

Not because I think he’s the best man for the job (or because my ex-husband has told me to: strange as it may seem, I do occasionally have opinions of my own).
It’s because he’s the one who got us into this mess in the first place by pushing out Boris. If it were up to me, I’d choose Rishi Sunak.

They know that it’s more of an exercise in damage limitation, of salvaging what they can from the wreckage and regrouping and rebuilding while the next lot inevitably smash up the metaphorical playground after they win power.

He lost the final membership vote, of course — but he won the MPs’ ballot by 137 to 113.
And since the one thing on which everyone seems to agree is that nobody wants another contest, it stands to reason he has a strong claim. Besides, Sunak was the runner-up in the original contest that gave us Truss.

Everyone — from Rishi Sunak to Penny Mordaunt to Ben Wallace — represents a red line to someone. And that’s because the Tory party, in its current incarnation, isn’t really a single party at all, but an uneasy alliance of ideological fiefdoms. That’s just pie in the sky.

The Tories are fast catching up.
But even assuming by some miracle that they could agree on someone, it wouldn’t help in the wider country. Italy, of course, has practically had a new leader each year since World War II. And that’s because, understandably, people want what they voted for. Which, let’s be honest, was not this.

But having him take over as Chancellor is a bit like ordering rump steak on your Ocado shop and finding they’ve substituted it with a tofu burger. I know Jeremy a bit, and despite what people say, he’s not a bad egg.

Trouble is, it doesn’t look like they can even manage that.
Every MP and minister I speak to is racked with indecision, partly because they are in something like a state of shock — but mostly because they are searching for a solution that doesn’t exist.
