The man behind Australia's assisted suicide group Exit International says he is moving part of his operation to New Zealand.
Philip Nitschke says new laws in Australia will restrict his organisation from January 6. These include running a website, preparing written material or organising workshops on euthanasia.
Nitschke says he will continue living in Darwin but will visit New Zealand often.
An organisation which opposes euthanasia says his work will be legal in New Zealand, but that only shows what a soft touch New Zealand is.
Family Life International says New Zealand is fighting youth suicide and the culture of suicide, so should not allow people to set up professional operations that promote suicide as a viable alternative.
