His comments come after the preliminary results of this afternoon’s referendum that reveal that nearly two-thirds voted in favor of his Election Act at the end of life.
“This is a momentous moment for the entire country,” the ACT Party leader told 1 NEWS.
“We have all become a more compassionate and humane society that provides vulnerable people suffering at the end of their lives with true choice and dignity under the law. And I was quite relieved to see that happen.”
Seymour credited other politicians who also championed the cause over the years.
“I am very proud to have been associated with this, other members of Parliament have come forward and worked very hard and, through no fault of their own, have not included their name in a bill like this.
“I am one of the lucky ones who has been able to do something, so I am proud of that achievement.”
He is confident that the bill will be approved once the special votes have been counted on Friday, November 6, leading to an official result.
“For the vote to be overturned, almost all special votes would have to oppose, and traditionally favor liberal causes.”
