Dominic Perrottet recalled visiting his terminally ill grandmother in hospital as he opposed an assisted dying bill in the NSW parliament.
The Premier, who is a devout Catholic, said the debate is ‘very real and very personal’ for him because of his recent experience.
“This time last week I was in the last place many of us would want to be. In a hospital, next to a bed, visiting a patient with a terminal illness. That patient is my grandmother,” he began his speech on Friday morning.
“She’s over 90 years old and now she’s dying from pancreatic cancer. As I sat next to her, holding her hand, I could tell that she was in great pain and that she wanted it to be over.”
