Legalized Murder
The death penalty is a vestige of barbarism.
The death penalty is a violation of the most basic tenet of human rights: Each and every person has an inalienable right to life. This is a right so valuable and precious it may never be abridged, even by the most horrific of cases. International organizations have long recognized the affront and challenge to human rights presented by the death penalty, and each year the list of countries ending this cruel practice grows longer.
As for the little runt, PM Howard stated clearly that capital punishment is a matter for the States but he must know himself that Australia is obliged by international agreements and longstanding bipartisan policy to overturn any such state government law.
What the hell is going on in this man's mind?
