THE VICTORIAN Government has offered assistance to a Singapore Law Society review of the mandatory death penalty, the state’s Attorney-General Rob Hulls has announced.

He said it is “crucial that governments, and in particular the federal government”, do what they can to lobby countries that apply the mandatory death penalty.
