Abolition of the death penalty

In October 1954 the New South Wales State Cabinet of the Cahill Labor government decided to amend the Crimes Act to abolish the death penalty. Until that date judges in New South Wales were bound to impose death sentences to persons convicted of murder, rape and other serious crimes. After August 1939 the Executive Council had automatically commuted death sentences to a term of imprisonment.^[191] In 1955, with the Labor party in control of both houses of the State Parliament, New South Wales abolished the death penalty for crimes such as murder and rape. Crimes such as treason and piracy remained as legislated capital offences until 1985.^[192]
