Eugh, it's got gin in it :(

Steer well clear of that then.

Dear Is Mise,

Here is the link for you:

Now apologise!

Is Mise, I looked up the stats and Iv'e come away with a feeling of 'somethings not right'. As I'm in WA I took particular note of my state's stats. From memory we have well in excess of 2.5 million people in this state. The stats say that only 1.2 million 'eligible' people voted. Surely half our state are not children? I can't put my finger on it but there is something odd about the stats. Maybe you can elaborate, I can't.

Foxy,

"Of the eligible [ELIGIBLE, note!] Australians who expressed a view on this question, the majority indicated that the law should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry, with 7,817,247 (61.6%) responding Yes and 4,873,987 (38.4%) responding No. Nearly 8 out of 10 eligible Australians (79.5%) expressed their view."

That is vastly different to,
"61.6% of the Australian population votes YES.

38.4% of the Australian population voted NO"

which is what you posted, in actual fact 61.6% 0f 79.5% voted "Yes" and 38.4% of 79.5% voted "No", which as I indicated earlier I accept as a majority in favour of the proposition.

So there is nothing to apologize for, except in the future, if you take exception to being considered a dill.

Well, well, well.

Looks like someone's getting a little too inquisitive for their own good.

It's nothing, ALTRightActiVist, and you'll drop it if you know what's good for you.

Walk away, ALTRAV. Just walk away.

Dear Is Mise,

Read what the Australian Bureau of stats said in
the link I gave you.

I quoted directly from that link.

If you have trouble understanding what they said
then it's your problem, not mine and if you have
any questions or disputes with their figures
contact them, not me. I am merely quoting them
and they are after all a credible and reliable
authority. Now if you think that makes me a dill,
well my friend, what does that make you?
