Does anyone know if Australia has capital punishment? If so burning at the stake might be appropriate.

I’m sorry, In Australia, capital punishment was gradually abolished state by state, including the two mainland territories.

So no hanging, firing squad, etc.

Period.

Some Muzzies were advocating arson last September.

Apparently The Age has killed that link. On another forum people thought the report wasn’t sourced properly.
