If you have a look at the results of other recent polls there you
might not feel so positive about the SMH readership Trudy. On things
like drug trials, worker entitlements, the electronic tagging of
detention centre inmates, Tony Abbott and many other measures they
look pretty reactionary to me!
If you have a look at the voting pattern on the Shyan issue today
you'll see that it has changed pretty dramatically, with two to one
now in favour of release. If it really was a measure of a swing in
opinion amongst the SMH readership I'd be worried if I was Ruddock.
