Objecting to objections to Catholic Sir David Santaynand heading the Commission into abuse in state care and faith-based institutions, Rosemary McLeod acknowledges that “there’s always been anti-Catholic sentiment here”. 

Yes, kids from ‘the main school’ chanted rhymes at us convent kids - but sadly, I never knew any to chant back.

Rosemary observes that it’s not just Catholics, but also David Seymour’s Parliamentary fellows who are finding his End of Life Choice Bill “full of pitfalls”. 

There are lawyers and legal academics too, who are just “as entitled to hold a view” on the matter as Catholics and politicians – and funnily enough, those views coincide. NZ’s Lawyers for Vulnerable New Zealanders say this bill “places our country’s most vulnerable citizens at greater risk of premature death, whether through misdiagnosis or prognostic error or through coercion, abuse or neglect.”

It was always a horrible idea, a nightmare. Let’s all wake up now and get over it.


Viola says: I agree, Julia. It's happening in Australia as well!
