Dear Onthebeach,
<<Both parties were shown the door by voters.>> Certainly so, but to be honest it had very little to do with gay marriage. Ordinary people do have more important issues (as also indicated by VoteCompass). In my case, I showed them the door first and foremost in order to stop the NBN.

Dear OTB,
What really flatters is all this attention you're giving me. Especially when as I stated earlier this information is so easily available on the web - and if you can't Google - there's always help availble. However - this is your technique when you can't find anything of substance to default and your views are being questioned - you nit-pick and attack. That's uber OTB. As you keep telling me - Pot/Kettle et al. Good stuff. Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 10:16:25 AM

Foxy,
Yet again and it is par for the course, you attacked me rather than answer the obvious questions that arise concerning the survey you quoted. This is what I said, "you neglected yet again to inform readers of: - who sponsored that survey; and, - what limitations exist for the interpretation of the results" What about an answer in lieu of your trademark hit and run? After all, you do claim to be a 'librarian' and a 'researcher', and you often lecture others on how to conduct the debate. There are surveys and surveys.

Dear OTB,
I am amazed that you haven't Googled this information for yourself. There's plenty available on the web. Then you could evaluate and pick the ones that appeal to you because I suspect that no matter which ones I provide you with - you'll find something wrong with them if it doesn't fit into your ideological view-finder. Surveys were done by The Age, Galaxy poll, Newspoll, Pew Research, to name just a few. You can find lists and names that may help you at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Australia See you on another thread. Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 7:28:48 PM

- who sponsored that survey; and,
- what limitations exist for the interpretation of the results.
There are surveys and surveys.
The most reliable survey is the federal election that just took place and it includes every Australian of voting age. The Greens and Labor copped a drubbing. 'Gay' marriage was supported by both. Both parties were shown the door by voters.
