Our trip to the city

Tweet

Yesterday, we caught the bus to the train station, then caught the train to Perth where we caught another bus and eventually walked a short distance to an art gallery. There was a photographic exhibition that we wanted to see. The photos were all taken by the one person who had also produced a book of the prints together with the stories of the subjects. The photos were all on the subject of VAD, Voluntary Assisted Dying. VAD is legal in all our states but not in the Northern Territory. I’m not sure why it’s not legal there. They were the first to allow it but the decision was overruled by the Commonwealth. There was also a video presentation that we could watch. The photos were very powerful with short texts about the subject and their story. Most had inoperable cancers and some had motor neurone disease. I’ll tell you about the rest of our day in another post.
