Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

The Greens party opposes the death penalty in all circumstances and would not support allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment. They believe that the criminal justice system should be based on principles of fairness, impartiality, and due process, rather than being influenced by the emotions of individuals directly affected by the crime.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

The Greens party opposes the death penalty in all circumstances, even for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence.
