I have a supplementary question. Will the Premier now make a commitment
to properly resource palliative care and end-of-life choices with new money
over and above existing budgets, as this issue clearly demands?
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members, let the Premier answer.

I do not think this issue should be politicised. We put an
additional $41 million into the budget a few months ago on top of the existing
allocation to provide additional support across Western Australia. In the
spirit with which this debate has been conducted up until now, I urge members
not to politicise the matter.
