From Morning Report, 7:22 am on 30 October 2020

Preliminary results for the cannabis legalisation and euthanasia referenda will be out today.

It will be another week before the official count is announced, along with special votes, on 6 November.

Unlike recreational cannabis, the assisted dying referendum is binding.

Catherine Marks, was the lawyer for euthanasia campaigner Lecretia Seales, and helped draft the End of Life Choice bill. Peter Thirkell is secretary of the anti-euthanasia group Care Alliance.

The pair speak to Corin Dann.
