Do the greens want to execute their political opponents like they do in Islamic countries?

As far as I understand, the Greens are still opposed to the death penalty.

Should Australia reintroduce the death penalty and if so, for what crimes? Death is too good for the most evil offenders. They should be forced into lifetime careers in the Australian Taxation Office. That is worse than death.

Faggots + Tin foil hat wearers would include conservatives. Careful what you wish for.

It would have to be for cases of murder. However, I sometimes think it should be applied in cases of cruelty to animals. It is not a deterrent or revenge, just a matter of taking out the garbage.

Some class abortion as murder.
Agree to kill mothers that abort their foetus?

How about if a compassionate killing of a terminally ill person. Should that person be executed?

Both the issues you raise would need to be considered through legislation and not left as loopholes for actual murderers. On face value, I would not vote for either.

That's a bit hard for Lostweekend58 and his lover Gizmo. What if they promised to stop performing their acts of affection to each other in public.

Greens has used the debating tactic of diversion to
try and make a point.

It's not about abortion & never was.
