Newspoll just out . ALP clawing its way back

[Matilda]

3. In the last two days, the Coalition haven't moved for Suspension of Standing Orders at all.

And there's been nothing said in the House about Craig Thomson either.

I wonder if some of the more rational people on the Opposition benches have warned Tony to lay off for a bit. It wouldn't look good for them if Thomson tried to top himself, and perhaps some realise there's a real danger of it happening. Continually cutting short QT is also wearing a bit thin as a stunt as well.

The numbers out today would seem to confirm that Abbott's three-ring circus is getting a bit old hat.

Of course, money in the pocket doesn't hurt either.
