Law Council laments leadership vacuum on the death penalty
09/10/2007
The Law Council of Australia has described Laborâs 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 Governmentâs 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.
