Dear David and All, The original reference to this radio survey is at:
http://www.abc.net.au/riverina/vote/past.htm And you have to scroll down � past the survey on brothels � to Question 5. As you can see the ABC qualifies these results with the line: 'Please note that the online poll is not, nor is it intended to be, statistically valid. It is simply a "straw poll", a method of gaining a rough idea of community feelings on any given topic. Consequently the results should not be the subject of any serious interpretation or analysis'.
