Queensland investigates black market in euthanasia drug after deaths, amid concerns over misuse and oversight of assisted dying laws.
Police in Queensland are investigating a potential black market involving a veterinary euthanasia drug used for beached whales, after a young man’s death and at least 20 others linked to the substance.
The probe raises concerns about the illegal diversion of a drug legally imported for animal use, with questions about how large quantities are being obtained and used for human purposes.
The case has intensified scrutiny of Queensland’s voluntary assisted dying laws, which have been used by about 550 people in early 2025, mostly cancer patients from rural areas.
Critics warn of possible exploitation through charities, healthcare providers, or businesses offering end-of-life services, and call for stronger oversight to prevent abuse.
While the laws aim to provide a dignified option for the terminally ill, authorities are under pressure to ensure safeguards are enforced and the system remains ethical and secure.
