For those who support the death penalty

As I said, it does not work in the US because they keep a prisoner sentenced to death in prison for 10+ years. And we both know that the incarceration rate in Australia is low because the judges prefer to let the criminals go. Like these mofos:

So, if justice isn't being served, of course, our incarceration rate would be low.

You will need to provide some hard statistics to back up that bold claim rather than baseless conjecture based on news reports. (I could find American news reports where the exact same thing happens.)

They should die about 1 hour after the sentence is handed down.

This guy gets it. One quick injection and incineration should do the trick.

See. Australia went down this path once before, untill technology caught up and found that those who were found guilty and were put to death were actually innocent.
It is WHY we abolished the death penalty and made it one of our international mandates to abolish the death penalty.
