The Government had insisted the legislation was sound and did not need amending when it came to the Upper House.
It has dismissed most of the changes as inconsequential and not impacting the operation or the integrity of the bill. The Premier did not hide the fact the Government agreed to the amendments, including some of its own, for political expediency to ensure the passage of the bill."The amendments that we passed, we made a judgment on every single one of them as to whether they'd make the bill better, did they do any harm to the bill, and we applied that judgment to every single amendment that came before us," she said.

It's only controversial to a few. The majority have, for a long time, seen the sense in a regulated system to offer people the choice of avoiding immense suffering. This is an excellent outcome.
Crippled legislation but at least it's something. Might still have to buy that ticket to Switzerland.
