From Morning Report, 7:10 am on 27 June 2019

It was expected to go down to the wire but the second reading of the End-of-Life-Choice bill easily passed in Parliament on Wednesday night.

Just 20 MPs had the opportunity to debate the bill and many shared personal stories of watching family members die in what was at times a very emotional display in the House of Parliament.

RNZ political reporter Jo Moir watched it unfold.
