Qld MP's death penalty calls 'insensitive'

Queensland's premier has ridiculed an opposition MP's repeated calls for the death penalty to be considered for terrorists.

Liberal National Party MP Dr Christian Rowan, who last week used a parliamentary speech to call for a conversation about the death penalty, renewed his push this week in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris.

"I find it quite insensitive and quite unbelievable that a member of parliament in this day and age in Australia would be calling for that," Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Ms Palaszczuk has reaffirmed the state's commitment to resettle 3500 of the 12,000 Syrian refugees the Federal Government has offered to take in.

It comes amid calls, including from federal MP Bob Katter, for Australia to shut its doors to Syrian refugees for fear of terrorists, posing as asylum seekers, trying to enter the country.

At least 129 people were killed in simultaneous attacks in Paris at the weekend.
