A terminally ill Newcastle man says he'll travel to Victoria to die with dignity if the state legalises voluntary euthanasia.
John Grayson suffers from a rare type of brain tumour which has left him bedridden with terrible headaches despite having surgery and chemotherapy to stabilise his condition.
The Victorian state government is planning to introduce legislation for physician-assisted dying, with MP's to be given a conscience vote in the second half of next year.
Premier, Daniel Andrews says he's had a change of heart on the issue following the death of his father.
"Each and every member of my team will have a conscience vote and I'm confident that each and every member of parliament more broadly will search their conscience, search their personal values, search their personal experiences to make a decision that they believe is the right decision for the future," he said.
