Marshall Perron is a former Chief Minister of the Northern Territory of Australia, and responsible for the world's first legislation to legalise voluntary assisted dying in restricted circumstances. The law came into effect in 1995 but was extinguished by federal legislation in 1996.
This video is Perron's pioneering address to the National Press Club in Canberra, prior to the Northern Territory legislation being extinguished.
