For death penalty, analysing the results by voting preference shows Liberal voters strongly in favour of the executions being carried out (63% cf. 37%), as are National voters (69% cf. 31%), however both ALP voters (55% cf. 45%) and Greens voters (68% cf. 32%) are against the executions being carried out. So with another word, results from this question is, 52 percent respondent agree death penalty should be carried out and 48 percent others disagree should not be carried out.
