Foxy,Is Mise, I was trying to explain that the numbers given were of 'eligible' voters and not ALL Aussies. Maybe I just don't explain myself clearly enough. I must admit being a little confused with the numbers such as 61% of 80%. I think we are all getting bogged down with the difference in the figures like 80% of eligible voters as opposed to 100% of all Aussies. I hope everyone stands back for a minute and see's what we are all on about. Thanks.

Dear Is Mise,

I can understand that you can't comprehend what is
being said.

See ya!

Foxy, "Here are the facts from the Australian Bureau of
Statistics:
61.6% of the Australian population votes YES.
38.4% of the Australian population voted NO"

- Plainly that is a deceit some political propagandists will be maintaining unless challenged every time and it is obvious why they would be doing that.

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Among psychologists something like this known as the "illusion of truth" effect.

The facts,
"..slightly fewer than half of all eligible voters (49.0%) voted Yes and a little less than a third (30.5%) voted No. The rest did not vote or their preference was unclear."

Foxy,

Why can you not comprehend that the statement

"61.6% of the Australian population votes YES."

is wrong?

Let me write it another way,

61.6% of the Australian population of 24.13 million votes YES.

Did they?

Issy, may I advise you on this; "Blow it out your whatever!"

Issy a recount now shows that 163% OF AUSTRALIANS VOTED YES! Do you want a link for that
