"What the numbers say (and don’t say) in the same-sex marriage survey"

Issy a couple of points, I contend the SSM issue was not all that divisive, hardly mass demos by the No campaigners. and it was Josephus who claimed it was the most divisive issue ever.

You have nothing to say on the Menzies referendum? Strangely it was held at a time when "our boys" were off killing communists in Korea. If support for that noble cause was so great, as you claim, why didn't the referendum succeed.

The sacking of the Whitlam government, another very divisive issue in Australia's history.

"So the facts are revealed Paul would rather live in North Korea under communism than the South under democratic freedom." Fr. Joe not given that one any thought at all.

Paul,

"You have nothing to say on the Menzies referendum? Strangely it was held at a time when "our boys" were off killing communists in Korea. If support for that noble cause was so great, as you claim, why didn't the referendum succeed."

Because the Korean War was irrelevant to Australian politics and, possibly because a majority of the voters thought that a Communist Party in plain view was better than an underground one.

Is Mise,

No. I have not been mis-stating the facts.
You have been twisting them to suit yourself.
And that is something over which I have
no control.

BTW: - I shall repeat for you what I said on
page 5 - that the results
of the postal survey told us what we already
knew via opinion polls -
that 6 out of ten Aussies were in favour of same sex
marriage.

You seem to have a comprehension problem even with
this fact.

But no matter. I have lived without your good opinion
of me for quite a long time in my life. Sadly, I
shall have to struggle to continue to live without
it hard as it may be.

Have a nice day.

Foxy,

Yes, I do, because 6 out of 10 Aussies are not in favour of SSM and "61.6% of the Australian population votes YES" is still wrong, mainly because 61.6% of the Australian population is a figure greater than the number of eligible voters,
(check with the ABS if in denial).

You seem to have a comprehension problem even with this fact.

Is Mise,

1) The results of the postal survey told us
what we already knew via opinion polls
that 6 out of ten Aussies were in favour of SSM.

2) Of all eligible Australians who expressed a
view on "should the law be changed to allow
same sex couples to marry?" the majority
indicated that the law should be change with
61.6% (7,817,247) responding "yes."
And 38.4% (4,873,987) responding "no."

Nearly 8 out of 10 eligible Australians (79.5%)
expressed their view.

This was clearly explained on page 8 of this discussion.
What is your problem?
