Senator Bob Brown, leader of the Australian Greens, saw his Private Members Bill to remove federal ministerial veto power over Territory laws pass the Australian House of Representatives. This veto-power was the reason Northern Territory’s Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995 was withdrawn after half a year, resulting in the current legal situation in Australia. This historic Bob Brown Bill means a lot for future developments in this field in the teriitories of Australia.
