When I see these results on TV I'm always dubious.
It rarely, if ever states population size or the variables that were taken into account so the info can be meaningless.
There are so many variables that can skew...
However, since me life don't depend on it.....I'll maybe take this lot on face value cos it makes interesting reading if nowt else

Re: Some interesting Australian Poll results
These phone in and internet polls do not represent Australia. For one they only represent those inclined to vote. This brings out those passionately for or against rather than the mildy opionionated. Secondly they only are valid for those with internet or phone access.

The 'smokers should work longer hours' result was funny. That would be all the coffee drinkers voting then
. The same ones who think nothing of walking 10 minutes to their favourite coffee shop on company time.
