As disturbing as poll numbers can get

Colleagues and scholars from coast to coast, across Bass Strait and all the ships at sea.

These are as disturbing as poll numbers can get.

Essential Research found in response to this question: "Do you think the Federal Liberal/National Government is too tough or too soft on asylum seekers or is it taking the right approach?" (Essential Report, March 4)

Too tough	25%
Too soft	28%
Taking the right approach	34%
Don’t know	13%

A full 28%, or 4.1 million voters, thought the Government's approach was too soft.

How black a heart can a human being have? How empty a soul? 

How empty, indeed?
