Morgan Poll is basically unchanged -

#Morgan Poll Primary Votes: L/NP 35 (0) ALP 38 (-0.5) GRN 11 (-1) PUP 7.5 (+1)

Just wait to the 'real' budget gets passed (as opposed to the initial bargaining position) and you get bipartisan support for the cuts - then the numbers will change.

The Coalition's primary vote is basically what it was when Rudd was in his honeymoon phase; it's incredibly low.

They can ask the reserve bank for some.

It also depends a lot on the economy; they were lowballing it for a while too.

Reading the words "faceless bishops" really tempted me to photoshop Julie Bishop and Bronwyn Bishop and remove their faces. Then I realised that it would probably disturb a significant number of people, so that's not going to happen.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Is there more to the Gao murder than the cops are letting on? they said he wasnt being used as an informant but it seems kind of weird that a 20-something student has the ability to pull in 3 million dollars of Ice.

There is all kind of speculation that he was just one of the dumb kids that the HK syndicates use to mule locally. There was a big *news ltd investigation* into them recruiting in the high rises at World Tower and around UTS a while ago, but it was 95% conjecture.

PS Re birds/dinosaurs/reptiles, all my modern biology textbooks and biology lecturers agree that birds are reptiles and also dinosaurs, so Pyne can indeed be both. He has the hungry soulless eyes I have seen in many a chicken. One of my favourite chickens once bit a big chunk out of my knee when I skinned it and I suspect Christopher Pyne is as evil or even more evil.

For a second I thought the chicken bit you while you were skinning it.
