Voluntary assisted dying is back in the news this week, following the death of former ABC news anchor Richard Morecroft.
For a decade, Andrew Denton has been at the forefront of the fight for the right to choose how we die when facing terminal illness. This week, he addressed the National Press Club, reflecting on what the Go Gentle movement has achieved and the work still to be done.
But how did a man who spent his career making us laugh become a leading advocate for voluntary assisted dying? And what did he learn about making change along the way?
Recorded in 2024, this ChangeMaker Chat takes us behind the headlines to explore the story behind the fight for voluntary assisted dying.
