Friday's Highlights: 3AW Breakfast is live from Lexus of Blackburn to give away the Yearly Rumour File Prize… but wait there’s more – Ross and John also issue a missing person’s alert for Ted Baillieu

http://www.3aw.com.au/Breakfast

But ...

First things first

COLLINGWOOD will take exclusive ownership of its new MCG-sized training ground at Olympic Park by 2012.
But whether the Magpies' master plan of a $15 million overhaul of the site goes ahead is in the hands of the Baillieu Government

Sports Minister Hugh Delahunty could not guarantee the proposal would go ahead, but said the Government would consider it in the coming months.

"During the election campaign, the former Brumby government announced an additional $7 million for this project," Delahunty said.

"This commitment was not the Victorian Liberal Nationals Coalition policy going into the election. I will meet with both the Collingwood Football Club and the Melbourne and Olympic Parks Trust in the new year to discuss these proposals."

Delahunty confirmed construction would soon begin on the Magpies' training ground to be built on the site of the Olympic Park athletics track next to Magpie headquarters.

The historic stadium will be torn down, allowing the Pies to take exclusive control of the ground, which will include a two-lane running track.

AFL rivals Melbourne, rugby league's Storm and soccer's Melbourne Victory will be forced to train on nearby fields.

Why is this even here? It wasnt a coalition policy, it was a Labor one and Eddie Everywhere didnt cover his bases when kissing political ass.

Now Eddie is using the paper to try and guilt the new government into giving them money.

If it was me, not a chance in hell. If Collingwood is so successful, let them build their training centre. You build it for one, you build it for all.

Here's a challenge which I asked from you earlier, find me an opinion poll that won an election.

It can be in Australia, or anywhere in the world. An opinion poll that won an election.

Or if that is too difficult for you, find anything in any constitution from around the world, including Australia's, which states that a party/person is declared the winner based on the opinion polls.

As stated opinion polls do NOT win elections, voting booths do.

CHRIST, you're a DILL

So you can't find any constitution anywhere in the world that says a favourable opinion poll means you win an election, or gives you the right to govern or anyhing?

And you can't find any opinion poll anywhere in the world that won an election?

Why does this not surprise anyone at all. As we all know opinion polls mean ziltch, it is the voting booth outcomes that win elections.

Unfortunately, your opinion is based on the fact you dislike Aussie Rules Football. If it were a project YOU liked you'd be complaining about the decision.

Ever think the consideration might be a nice way of saying "lets get this off the front page of the paper".

Ted doesnt need a slanging match with Eddie and Eddies massive contacts.

Can you BELIEVE this new "intellectual squeeze" Longweekend has taken under his wing ?

Though by some of writings, it's hard to say if she's just politically illiterate - or gone undercover to push the Labor cause ?

But, it makes no nevermind ...

The society with the lowest crime rate in the 80s and 90s was USSR.

there might be a clue for you in there as to how to halt crime. But are you willing to embrace the solution?

You've picked an extreme.
I am perfectly comfortable with the safety levels we enjoy in San Diego.

We took a stroll through the gaslight district, through La Jolla, through Del Mar only recently and felt no sign of crime.

One of the reasons for this comfort level -

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

California Penal Code § 3604:

"The punishment of shall be inflicted by the administration of a lethal gas or by an intravenous injection of a substance or substances in a lethal quantity sufficient to cause death…"

Pursuant to subsection (b) of that Code section, if the prisoner does not make a decision on the method within 10 days after the warden's service upon the inmate of an execution warrant, then the default is given as lethal injection.

The penal code provides for possible capital punishment in:

treason against the state of California, defined as levying war against the state, adhering to its enemies, or giving them aid and comfort.

perjury causing execution of an innocent person

first-degree murder with special circumstances

for financial gain
the defendant had previously been convicted of first or second degree murder
multiple murders
committed using explosives
to avoid arrest or aiding in escaping custody
the victim was an on-duty peace officer; federal law enforcement officer or agent; or firefighter
the victim was a witness to a crime and the murder was committed to prevent them from testifying
the victim was a prosecutor or assistant prosecutor; judge or former judge; elected or appointed official; juror; and the murder was in retaliation for the victim's official duties

the murder was "especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel, manifesting exceptional depravity"
the murderer lay in wait for the victim
the victim was intentionally killed because of their race, religion, nationality, or country of origin (a hate crime)
the murder was committed during the commissioning of robbery; kidnapping; rape; sodomy; performance of a lewd or lascivious act upon the person of a child under the age of 14 years; oral copulation; burglary; arson; train wrecking; mayhem; rape by instrument; carjacking; torture; poisoning
the murder was intentional and involved the infliction of torture
poisoning
the murder was committed by discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle
the defendant is an active member of a criminal street gang and was to further the activities of the gang

God bless this country.

God bless America.
Andrei - we are talking about Bailleu wanting to stop suspended sentences.
My calculations show that there is not enough room in our prisons to hold all the criminals.

Hey, it was you who made the ignorant statement that opinion polls win elections.

Can't you back up your own comment?

Or is it that you have finally realised that your comment was ignorant and that I am right. Opinion polls don't win elections, voting booths win elections.
But we all knew that, well everyone but the champagne socialist!
