Jay Fallon, thank you for listening to The Slippery Slope.
0:15
So I wanted to talk about two separate articles that have come
0:19
up now. The first ones to do with
0:22
voluntary assisted dying. And I've seen a lot of these
0:26
different puff pieces come up. I call them puff pieces because
0:30
they're always, they're always cast from the, the point of view
0:34
that you know, this is, it's peaceful, such a beautiful,
0:39
loving way to go. You get to choose your own way
0:44
to die. You get to choose the time and
0:47
the place and the way. You don't have to go through any
0:51
pain, no discomfort. You get to choose everything and
0:57
it's, it seems strange to me how we're we're sold, we sold these
1:03
these ideals of of death and how you get to choose all of these
1:08
things now. And it's not lost to me also
1:11
about when they come about selling the sale of abortions as
1:17
well. It's all about choosing about
1:20
your choice. Hey, you know, are you really
1:23
ready to be a mother? You know, it's, it's your
1:25
choice. If this isn't, if this isn't the
1:28
time, if this isn't convenient, well, you know, you get to
1:32
choose. Let's not talk about the, the,
1:34
the child that gets lost or anything like that.
1:36
Let's not talk about the, the pain, the agony, the, the
1:40
killing of a human being. You get to choose.
1:43
This is choice. It's all make you comfortable.
1:47
But anyway, I just want to read through this article first.
1:51
So wife of Brisbane doctor David Levitt tells how her husband
1:55
ended his life through voluntary assisted dying.
1:59
I had the video come up. I didn't want to exert, you
2:02
know, the videos your typical. It's very, very comforting.
2:06
It's from the, the, the wife's point of view and, you know, he
2:10
gets to choose this and it's very, he found out that he had a
2:14
brain tumour. He came back and just said,
2:16
bang, this is what's going to happen.
2:19
He got to choose it. He died in her arms and she was
2:23
laying head on his chest and heard his heartbeat stopping.
2:27
And it's a lovely time anyway. Pauline McGrath put a head on
2:32
her shoulder on her husband's chest as he drank the lethal
2:36
medicine that would end his life, safe and warm in his own
2:40
bed. This is the way it's always
2:41
sold. It's safe, warm.
2:43
It's your choice. David Leavitt quickly drifted
2:47
into a deep sleep and for the next half hour she listened
2:52
intently until his heartbeat gradually fell silent.
2:56
It was an incredibly quiet, peaceful time.
2:59
The Brisbane woman reveals, as she tells the Sunday male, her
3:03
great love took control of his death through voluntary assisted
3:08
dying. It's all sold that you can take
3:11
control. You have control of your
3:13
destiny. You have control of your death.
3:15
This is what they want to sell you.
3:17
David was the director of General Pediatrist about
3:21
paediatrics in dermatology at the Queensland Children's
3:25
Hospital. He was diagnosed with a brain
3:27
tumour in May 2022 and died in April 2023.
3:32
In the first six months after VAD services became available to
3:37
eligible. That's voluntary Assisted dying
3:40
become eligible terminally ill Queenslanders.
3:42
In January 20 and January 1, 2023, 245 people died from the
3:49
administration of a voluntary assisted to dying substance.
3:53
David was one of them. As a leading Queensland doctor,
3:56
he was no stranger to death and dying.
3:58
So when he received his devastating diagnosis, he
4:01
instinctively knew that he would eventually die through voluntary
4:06
assisted dying. David did not want to die in
4:11
pain and it was important to him that he passed away peacefully
4:16
in his own home, surrounded by his loving family.
4:20
The VAD drug that would end his life was under lock and key in
4:24
his inner city apartment, waiting for the day he was ready
4:27
to let go. As a couple we had made clear
4:32
decisions that in the case of grave illness we never wanted
4:36
life saving interventions just for the sake of living.
4:39
We had talked about that and he had very clear views, Pauline,
4:44
who was also a healthcare worker, said when he was
4:46
diagnosed with a can I even pronounce this properly,
4:50
glioblastoma multiform at the age of 59, David I knew what
5:00
kind of death that would bring. On the day he told me about the
5:03
diagnosis, he said I have a brain tumour and voluntary
5:07
assisted dying starts on January 1.
5:14
The the reason why I want to talk about this before talking
5:17
about this next step, the next article I want to go through, it
5:21
seems to me we have lost our way here in Queensland, here in
5:27
Australia, we we sell death really well.
5:34
Our our governments, our bureaucrats sell, sell death.
5:38
Sell the idea of dying, sell the idea of killing the unborn.
5:45
We sell that idea, those ideas, those ideals really well, where
5:51
we are all about our society now is all about killing.
5:57
It's all about death. Hey, take control.
6:01
Take control of everything in your life and even when things
6:05
seem out of your out of control, instead of looking and thinking,
6:09
well, you know, I really don't have control and these things
6:13
are thrust upon us and what can I learn?
6:15
Maybe looking outwardly and thinking, well, I am really not
6:19
in control of my life and looking and thinking maybe there
6:23
is a God, maybe searching for some for any an eternal answer.
6:29
Now it's hey, you're still in control.
6:31
You can still be in control, you can take drugs and you can
6:35
decide when you want to die and have complete control and have
6:39
peace. It's all sold as peace and
6:42
having control over your life. You want to get an abortion or
6:46
well, you've had sex, you're now pregnant.
6:48
You didn't plan for it, you didn't really want it.
6:51
The father doesn't want to be the baby daddy.
6:53
You don't really want to be a mother.
6:55
So hey, take control. It's all good all the way up
6:59
till birth. Here in Queensland and even the
7:03
rest of Australia, you can find an excuse to to support your
7:10
reasoning to abort a child all the way up to birth all the way.
7:15
We sell death and we're very supportive of death here in
7:21
Queensland, here in Australia, but we're not supportive in my
7:27
opinion of one another anymore, Not anymore.
7:31
You know, the, the, the one who's down and out, the
7:34
Australians who are having a hard time in life.
7:36
The Australians who are struggling to, to find, to get
7:41
food, to put food on the table, struggling to keep a job down,
7:45
struggling to find housing. We're not supportive of them at
7:48
all. We bring in an inordinate amount
7:51
of new, new, new Australians, migrants.
7:57
We bring in how many was it, 600,000 just the other year?
8:01
Because you know, we'd be, we'd, we'd let the numbers dwindle a
8:04
little because of COVID. So we had to pump the numbers
8:07
up. We've brought in more new
8:09
Australians, more people from overseas, enough to create a
8:12
whole new little city. And yet all of us, all of our
8:16
cities and most of their rural centres, all struggle to find
8:20
accommodation for people, all struggle for housing.
8:23
People are getting kicked out. The the rents are just sky high.
8:29
House prices are ridiculous if you don't already own a house,
8:33
but you're in trouble. And if you're renting, if you're
8:36
in the rental market, you are fighting against sometimes just
8:40
hundreds of other people looking, scrambling for the same
8:43
property. But this is the country that we
8:46
now live in where we don't support we we support death.
8:50
We support you if you want to kill yourself.
8:53
And the problem that I have with voluntary assist is dying other
8:56
than I don't think suicide is the answer.
8:59
I don't think it's right biblically, I don't think it's
9:01
right. But also there's going to be
9:04
there will be if there probably already has been and I I believe
9:08
but there will definitely be times where there's going to be
9:11
people who are Co coerced into taking their own lives. 100%
9:17
that will happen. And I believe it already has
9:20
happened or what's already happened overseas.
9:23
Actually what had already happened in was a WA, an elderly
9:27
lady, not sick at all, no cancer, nothing at all, but just
9:31
decided they made a movie out of it, her and her her and her
9:35
granddaughter about she just decided, well, she wanted to
9:38
die. She didn't want to go past this
9:40
age, but there was nothing physically wrong with her.
9:45
Oh, I think it did. The story that was the last year
9:47
the girl in in Europe who decided, hey, this is what's
9:51
going to happen. And she's decided she wants to
9:52
die as well. And they're going to use the
9:55
same kind of services. You're going to have people who
10:00
are not of the right mind, not mentally able or physically able
10:04
to make these decisions. And they're going to be coerced
10:08
into doing these things. So we, we are very supportive of
10:11
death, very supportive of death. But mate, if you're, if you're
10:18
someone who's homeless, yes, this story here, this story
10:24
here, This is why I'm talking about this, OK, this story here.
10:26
Queensland Council denies trying to make homelessness illegal as
10:32
residents threatened with $8000 fines.
10:35
So people living in tents at Sutton's Beach Beach Park,
10:39
Redcliffe, forced to move to avoid fines for storing goods on
10:45
public land. Public land.
10:48
It's funny, funny how it's public land but they're allowed
10:51
to fine you. A Brisbane council has issued
10:53
compliance notices threatening fines of more than $8000 while
10:57
implementing it. It's second homeless clearance
11:00
in a day on Friday, Four of the approximately 8.
11:05
It's only 8 people. 4 of the 8 homeless residents at Sutton's
11:09
Beach Park in Redcliff were given just two days to vacate
11:12
the area. City of Moreton Bay offices
11:15
issued the compliance notices on Friday evening, alleged alleging
11:19
they had violated the council ordinance by storing goods on
11:25
public land. Isn't it, isn't it just good
11:27
that people who are obviously down and out, people who are
11:32
struggling in life, people who would need a bit of support,
11:35
maybe a bit of encouragement, maybe a helping hand.
11:38
What should we do? Well, we should kick the crap
11:41
out of them while they're down. Obviously, that's what we should
11:44
do. Well, they're, they're
11:46
struggling. They don't have the money, they
11:47
don't have the means to have to put a roof over their head.
11:51
Well then of course we, we make things even harder and we find
11:55
them. That's exactly what we should
11:57
do. That's the Australian way.
11:58
That's the Australian way now, isn't it?
12:01
This is ridiculous. And this is you wonder why I
12:04
cannot stand councils. I have been advocating.
12:07
We need to get rid of councils. We don't need three different
12:11
levels of government. We need to ditch councils.
12:16
Gone anyway. Keep going.
12:20
Do so. They must be out by midnight.
12:24
I love it. They must be out by midnight.
12:26
As if they're staying somewhere in no, no, this thing out under
12:30
the stars. But they've got to, they've got
12:32
to go. They can't just, they must be
12:35
out by midnight on a Sunday or face large fines, according to
12:38
the notices. Remember, they're homeless.
12:43
Bo Haywood, the founder of local food charity Norwich St, said
12:47
the goods the said the goods people were storing were all the
12:53
possessions they owned and they didn't own any private land to
12:59
store it on because they were homeless.
13:03
That's the problem you get, you get caught up in this cycle, you
13:06
don't have anything, you're homeless, you don't have the
13:09
money to be able to get out of this.
13:10
You don't have a job in a lot of these cases.
13:14
And then someone comes in, just loads you up with a fine.
13:17
It's it's like what used to happen.
13:18
It used to happen with in policing, you know, they used to
13:22
arrest people for drunk in a public place, even though some
13:27
places might be bringing it back, but they got, they had
13:29
enough common sense not to do it because you'd have drunks who
13:32
are just constantly who just just a revolving door.
13:37
They were just caught up in a cycle.
13:38
They couldn't get themselves. They were Alcoholics anyway.
13:41
So this is all they're doing. They're just making the cycle,
13:44
creating a cycle and making it even worse, harder for these
13:47
people. So he goes on to say this Beau
13:51
Heywood says, I think they're trying to make homelessness
13:55
illegal in Moreton Bay. A spokesperson for the city of
13:58
Moreton Bay said they were not attempting to make homelessness
14:01
illegal. Well, you are you've you've
14:05
you've, you're issuing threats, threatening to issue massive
14:12
fines that no one who most people would not be able to
14:17
afford $8000 fine. So obviously you are trying to
14:22
make it illegal. The notice warns failure to
14:25
comply can attract a penalty between 5 and 50 penalty points
14:30
worth between 806 dollars and $8065.
14:38
Only a port court can impose fines greater than the lowest
14:42
amounts. Well, it goes on a bit more all
14:47
I'm one told me this, like I said this, it it seems like
14:52
we're very supportive of people who of death.
14:56
We encourage death, We encourage the killing of unborn children.
15:00
We encourage people to take their own life.
15:03
We love death in this country. We have got a reprobate mind.
15:07
We cannot think properly. We do not think with any
15:10
clarity. We're unable, I think our
15:12
governments, our society is unable to think.
15:15
We have embraced death completely.
15:18
And where are the where? Where are the churches in the
15:22
area who are out trying to help, talking to the local government
15:27
coming up and say, hey, well, maybe there's something else we
15:30
can do. I'm sure there's good churches
15:32
down in that area. I'm sure there would be.
15:35
Please can, can we do something? Can we?
15:37
Shouldn't we be shining a light? Shouldn't we be the light on the
15:41
hill saying, well, you know, maybe this isn't the right way
15:45
to go chucking massive fines of people who are already down and
15:50
out. And you know, a lot of the, a
15:52
lot of the problem has been brought on by by our government
15:55
who has allowed immigration to, to grow rampantly, just
16:01
phenomenally. And, and our nation has not been
16:06
able to support the sudden steep influx of people who've been
16:11
coming into the country. That's why so many Australians,
16:15
people who were actually born here have been struggling with
16:20
homelessness. You know how many people I work
16:23
in an industry where you make a lot of money, a lot of money.
16:26
Like it's just ridiculous. The industry, I mean in, in
16:30
mining and talking to a supervisor who I work with, he
16:35
were he lives in quite a nice area, but he was saying it's
16:40
funny because there's a not far away from him in a quasi caravan
16:46
park. It is a caravan park but never
16:49
used to be a real proper caravan park but it's turned into a
16:52
caravan park now, he said. It's there's heaps of people
16:57
living there, heaps of people have decided they're going to
16:59
move up to this area. It's a great area to live.
17:02
I don't blame people for moving there.
17:04
The problem is there's not enough accommodation, there's
17:06
not enough vacant houses, but yet people keep coming there, he
17:09
said. A majority of these people that
17:11
live in this quasi caravan park, they've taken up, they're
17:16
working people, they're people with jobs, but they just cannot
17:20
find a home. They've got no accommodation
17:24
because our governments have decided that in order to keep
17:27
pumping up our house prices and in order to keep pumping up our
17:31
economy, because, you know, it's all just a big Ponzi scheme
17:35
anyway, we just keep allowing, we keep bringing more people in.
17:38
That's why we've got so many. And, and no offence to Chinese
17:41
and Indians, but that's why we have so many Chinese and Indian
17:47
people that have just arrived, taking over businesses living in
17:51
the nation because their governments allowed it to
17:53
happen. And at the same time they're
17:55
pushing people out onto the streets.
17:58
And then you have councils like the Flipping Moreton Bay Council
18:02
down there who just go along and kick them in the guts even
18:05
further while they're there and, and add fines onto these people.
18:09
Instead of maybe trying to work with the community, work with
18:13
church groups. Find another way to help people
18:16
out who are struggling. Giving people a fine when you
18:21
are down and out is not the way to go.
18:24
But we have lost our ability. Like I said, do think clearly
18:29
and to think with compassion and love.
18:33
We just kick our own people when they're down.
18:39
Reprobate mind. That is the mind of Australia
18:42
and Queensland. We that that council is
18:46
absolutely deplorable, absolutely deplorable.
18:51
It's absolutely disgusting. But like I said, you know, we'll
18:54
keep getting these little puff pieces about voluntary assisted
18:58
dying and how wonderful that is. We'll keep getting nice little
19:01
puff pieces about the poor soul who had to make the hard
19:05
decision to abort her child even though she didn't really want
19:08
to. And you know, she won't tell us
19:10
about the $4200 that she got because, you know, she left the
19:14
abort portion to a certain date. But you know, this is a hard
19:19
decision and it's a sad story. Sad for her, even sadder for the
19:23
child. But the homeless people are out
19:26
in the streets. Screw them.
19:27
Just kick him in the guts, give them a fine and move them on
19:30
their way. That's the Australian way
19:32
apparently. Now this is absolutely
19:35
disgusting and this council needs a wake up call.
19:38
And please, if there's any churches, people know, any
19:41
church groups down there that can help in some way.
19:43
I mean, surely even if it's something like, OK, these
19:46
people, they're getting fined for their property.
19:50
Can't, can't we find, I bet you there's vacant land or
19:53
something, a vacant warehouse or something where people can just
19:57
at least store their property. Something something to help?
20:03
I'm not, you know, I've got to admit I'm not always out there
20:07
helping the homeless or whatever.
20:09
But like you cannot kick people well while they're down.
20:13
You don't do that. I'm all for people helping
20:17
themselves, working, pulling themselves up.
20:20
But mate, you don't come along and just oh, you're down.
20:23
You're down and out. You're having a hard time.
20:25
Get this India and kick him in the head.
20:28
You don't do that. You don't give him a fine.
20:34
Anyway, that's enough of my rant.
20:36
This is disgusting behaviour. That's the slippery slope that
20:40
we're on. My name is still Jay Fallon.
20:42
This is still the Slippery Slope podcast.
20:45
I'm out. Thanks for listening.
20:46
Let me know what you reckon They.
20:49
Just
