http://www.news.com.au/ are running a poll on the question: "Do you think the Northern Territory's mandatory sentencing laws should be repealed?" At the moment (10am), with over 5000 votes cast, the 'no' vote has a slender majority (50.68%), with just over 46% voting in favour of repealing mandatory sentencing. If you wish to vote, just click on the address above, wait for the page to load and scroll down to the bottom where the poll can be found. On my machine at least, this is a slow page to load, so please be patient.
