Rob Johnson

QUOTE: "I have always said that in certain cases of mass murderers and serial killers and terrorists there should be the option there of the death penalty,'' he said.

"The fact that 72 per cent of people who responded to my survey agreed with me says something. Though it's unlikely that the party will adopt a policy on capital punishment, I am pretty sure they will share my concerns in other areas.''
