McClelland Apologises!

And he accuses 'one major newspaper insinuating "that I was advocating in respect to individuals who had been convicted of terrorism. That wasn’t my intention. " ' Well your speech actually says the opposite Mr McClelland- :"In Government we will therefore take the lead on encouraging the establishment of a regional coalition against the death penalty. This will demonstrate that Australia is serious about universal abolition."

So is Labor talking about abolishing the death penalty, or only abolishing it for those that are not convicted of terrorism? According to everything Labor has said they ARE advocting abolishment of the death penalty without regards for terrorism or not. The only confusion has actually arisen during Mr McClelland's apology.

Read the article at The Australian, you will see Labor is only covering themselves by saying they weren't advocating the death penalty for foreigners, but it is the biggest ever smokescreen by Labor I have ever seen. They don't appreciate that Australians actually like Asia and actually a lot of Labor voters have totally agreed with Corporal and Capital punishment. Now we will see who wins the election. It wasn't Howard's rabbit, it was Rudd's duck.

And what is Mr McClelland exactly apologising for? "Robert McClelland says his controversial death penalty speech was poorly timed and open to the interpretation that he might defend the Bali bombers."
