On 16th September 2015, the Victorian Director of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL), Dan Flynn, appeared as a witness to the Victorian Parliament’s end of life choices inquiry being conducted by the Legal and Social Issues Committee.

- Wrong about United Nations
- Wrong about Belgium’s law and practice
- Confused about advance care directives
- Winding back patient rights more than a quarter century
