newspoll 53-47, page-2

a one point shift either way - one point hardly earth-shattering. The Gillard approval has gone down more which you don't mention. Now 27%.

Wait until the Gillard/Slater and Gordon impasse blows up.
The polls will then really tank fast for Labor. Unless the public are now fully de-sensitized as to what's allegedly going on.

Of course it (the polls figures) well may not - lots of cover-up experts out there - hidden under their murky rocks.

And if it doesn't tank, and Gillard continues on her merry way of her constant spins and smoke and mirrors tricks, then we'll be stuck with her, again, for yet another four years beyond end of 2013.

And, if that's so, there'll be lots of boats heading OUT from Australia! We'll be the desperate "asylum seekers!"

We're already all dying of depression, living under the oppressions of this lot.

Do you think the Indonesians will take all of us?
(Well, up there, greased palms work wonders!)

I note with sadness an inquest into the tragic death of one of the young Pink Batts victims is only now about to commence. (Wonder whether Rudd and Gillard will be interested in the outcome enough to interrupt their martini gulps and canape chewing?) Or care?

Let alone lie awake thanks to any gnawing consciences.
