    Is the prize an awesome Ned Kelly Helmet?! Certainly worth writing a kick-ass novel for!
    (Love Robotham's work...)

    Good to see Robotham's BLEED FOR ME on the list. I really enjoyed that. I wonder why Peter Temple's TRUTH didn't make it through from the longlist? Was it withdrawn? Otherwise it seems a massive oversight...

    Temple was a major find a while back and Robotham most recently. Really enjoy both. Thanks for posting these lists! I have gotten several new favorites.

    Temple asked that TRUTH not be considered because he has won five Neds and wanted 'to create some small space' for others.
