Law Council laments leadership vacuum on the death penalty

Tue Oct 09 2007

The Law Council of Australia has described Labor’s hasty backflip on the death penalty as disappointing.�

"Consistent, public opposition to the death penalty is desperately needed in this region. The hypocrisy of the current Government’s silent consent to the impending execution of the Bali bombers is not lost on our Asian neighbours. The Australian Government can hardly expect that last minute rallying to save the lives of Australians will succeed, when other executions are met with tacit approval", said Mr Ross Ray QC, president of the Law Council.
