Ryan Batchelor says rural patients are locked out of euthanasia access. The data says otherwise. Watch to understand what's really happening.

This episode breaks down Ryan Batchelor's push to scrap the federal telehealth ban on voluntary assisted dying consultations, carried at Labor's national conference despite doubts from the party's own Attorney-General. It tests his rural access argument against Victorian and South Australian VAD Review Board data, which shows regional patients are already being reached roughly in line with population share. The real gap isn't access to euthanasia, it's palliative care funding, and that's where the investment should go. The episode previews the parliamentary vote expected when Parliament resumes in August.
