Attorney General Threatens Exit Workshops

16 October 2007
 
16 Oct 2007 - Exit Director Dr Philip Nitschke has received a letter from the office of the Attorney General Philip Ruddock claiming that the use of The Peaceful Pill Handbook or the YouTube video The Single Shot is in breach of the law. Details of this have been forwarded to the Victorian Police.

This appears to be a reaction by a Federal government upset by the activities of Exit and the candidacy of Exit Director Philip Nitschke in the forthcoming Federal election where he will challenge the anti euthanasia religious zealot, sitting member Kevin Andrews.
