  1. It gets ignored as people let it get ignored. I think we should protect our citizens where we believe the UDHR may be being breached. (torture, illegal imprisonment, death for drug offenses etc) Everything else is fair game. In regards to non Australian citizens that's what the UN is there for.. (well that and the obvious REAL agenda of trying to destabilise the Abbott government)
  2. Of course, and I agree with you 99% The issue IMHO is the implementation of the death penalty in a manner that is contradictory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in that it should be reserved solely for crime that results directly in death or the ambiguous "most serious offenses" clause, of which the trafficking of drugs is not generally considered to be. If it was a discussion regarding life vs 20 years vs freedom or whatever, I back you 100% yo do the crime you do the time. I have an issue with the death penalty in general in that it is fundamentally flawed by way of being irrevocable. By having the penalty you also must accept some collateral damage as the justice system is simply not perfect and innocent people can not be unkilled. IMHO that is not good enough, and makes capital punishment unacceptable. I would also suggest that if LIFE in prison (possibly in solitary) isn't enough to deter someone, then I'm willing to wager death doesn't add much weight to the consideration
  3. All countries do this. IMHO there is nothing wrong with taking a stand against what we believe to be incorrect... to a point. In this case the death penalty, particularly when it is being imposed in a manner that may or may not be in contradiction of the terms of the UDHR, depending on how you interpret it is something we should take a stand on when it involves Australian citizens. If you need an example of where interfering in other countries shit is more pertinent than 2 flogs that tried to smuggle drugs, look at Peter Greste. He'd still be rotting in an Egyptian gaol if the international community hadn't become involved.
  4. would you say it's a thoroughly bad idea?
  5. To be honest, it's no worse an investment than all the ex PM's we pay for life... especially the 2 (and possibly 3) that got booted mid term
