Andrews Bill, 1996
There are few “conscience” votes in the Australian parliament (members of parliament almost always vote as party blocs). A few years ago I collected data on passage of the Euthanasia Laws Bill 1996 (the “Andrews Bill”), a private member's bill to overrule a Northern Territory statute permitting euthanasia. The vote on the 3rd reading (final passage) of the bill in the House of Representatives (9 December 1996) is here as a raw text file.
