On a timely and (for me, unexpectedly) worthy contribution to the debate on capital punishment. Could not have put it better myself.
Gee it would be great to see some activist bipartisanship on this issue from the major parties.

Yep. Mightn’t agree with him on more complicated bits of policy analysis much of the time, but I gotta admit the guy has a good heart and sticks to his principles. If we move to a more conservative government than the current one come next election, then Barnaby for PM (with Bob Katter as Deputy PM). Solidarity forever with agrarian socialists!
Absolutely. Like you, I certainly don’t agree with everything he says, but at least he wears his political beliefs on his sleeve and is not scared of sticking out his neck and fighting for them. We could do with a bit more independence of mind like he has displayed in Australian politics.
