Fair enough, I appreciate you adding some nuance to your argument and I can see where you're coming from. I think their argument for a ban is actually way more feasible than Labor openly criticising the US, though. Labor clearly tries very hard to avoid offending this US administration and would never take a such a strong stand on an issue like this.
Whether a ban would actually be effective in terms of stopping every Australian from viewing the execution is another issue, but in terms of actually implementing something that may have some level of effect, a ban is pretty sensible. That's exactly the type of solution Labor would go for.
I think I may I have knee-jerked ๐
Appreciate your candor
