<P> Capital punishment in Australia has been abolished in all jurisdictions . Queensland abolished the death penalty in 1922 . Tasmania did the same in 1968, the federal government abolished the death penalty in 1973, with application also in the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory . Victoria did so in 1975, South Australia in 1976, and Western Australia in 1984 . New South Wales abolished the death penalty for murder in 1955, and for all crimes in 1985 . In 2010, the federal government passed legislation prohibiting the re-establishment of capital punishment by any state or territory . Neither the Commonwealth nor any of the states will extradite or deport a prisoner to another jurisdiction if they will face the death penalty, and police co-operation with other countries which have the death penalty has been questioned . </P> <P> The last execution in Australia took place in 1967, when Ronald Ryan was hanged in Victoria . Between Ryan's execution in 1967 and 1984, several more people were sentenced to death, but had their sentences commuted to life imprisonment . The last death sentence was given in August 1984, when Brenda Hodge was sentenced to death by Western Australia (and subsequently had her sentence commuted to life imprisonment). </P>
