The Melbourne newspaper The Age has regular reader polls, which I've only just learned of today, and they're rather interesting.
Current question: "Has the New Orleans disaster permanently stained George Bush's presidency?" A resounding 88% say Yes.
Past polls include, recently, 75% saying NO to "Should Australia lobby to help Michelle Leslie?" confirming my belief that her case is nothing like Schapelle Corby's, and she deserves whatever punishment she gets.
On the other hand, in June 73% said they "had not changed their mind about Schapelle's innocence", with past polls indicating the majority of us believe she IS innocent, and has not been helped enough by the government.
We still need to fight for Schapelle -- do not stop doing that! -- and her own strength should be marvelled at, too, as she tries to make the best of the sickening situation she is in.
