Overview

• Daniel Hume, a convicted sex offender with terminal cancer, died in hospital last week after accessing NSW’s voluntary assisted dying scheme while serving a 30-year sentence.
• He applied through Justice Health NSW and received approval from the independent Voluntary Assisted Dying Board.
• His daughter and victim, Neveah Jett, says she was not notified and argues victims should receive notice similar to parole processes.
• Premier Chris Minns says the criteria were followed and he is not proposing changes to the law.
• Advocacy groups are divided, with Dying with Dignity NSW backing equal end-of-life access for prisoners and Justice Action opposing victim involvement in medical decisions.
