How many people were given capital punishment in Australia?
There is no definitive answer to this question because Australia's aboriginal people had capital punishment in their system of laws long before the continent was colonized by Europeans. The states were not officially incorporated until the 19th and 20th centuries, so there are few records prior to that time.The first recorded execution in Australia was that of seven mutineers of the Dutch ship Batavia, in 1629. The last execution was held in Victoria, in 1967. Capital punishment was eliminated on a state-by-state basis, and was completely abolished in 1984.According to historical records, approximately 1,500 people were hanged in the 19th century, most in the first half of the century. Only 114 people were executed in the 20th century.
