Tasmania appears set to become the third Australian state to legalise voluntary assisted dying with the legislation gaining broad support in the state’s Lower House. 

Some 17 of the island’s 25-strong House of Assembly have voted for the reform to move to the next stage, although a final vote won’t be held until next year.
