Foxy,

"Or to allow them to
keep their integrity and believe what they have been
trying to tell you."

Why?

What you have been trying to tell me is that the ABS made a wild and un-referencable statement.
Now you tell us that you didn't keep a reference, really?
The ABS is not hard to find.

In fact, I went looking and they tell me that the Australian population is 24,600,000 (rounded figure) and that 7,817,247 Australians voted Yes.
Now 7,817,247 as a percentage of 24,600,00 is 31.78%

So we may truthfully say "31.78% of the Australian population voted YES"
Or to put it another way, considerably less than half of Australians voted Yes and an even lesser number voted No.

Is Mise,

Firstly, not all Australians were eligible to vote.
And not all who were eligible to vote responded
to the survey. The ABS only counted the ones who
did respond. And as stated to you earlier of all
eligible Australians who expressed a view on "Should
the law be changed to allow SSM couples to marry?"
The majority indicated that the law should be changed
with 61.6% (7,817,247) responding "yes" and 38.4%
(4,873,987) responding "no."

And again as stated earlier nearly 8 out of 10 eligible
Australians (79.5%) expressed their view.

All states and territories recorded a majority "yes"
response. And only 17 of the 150 Federal Electoral
Divisions recorded a majority "no" response.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it .
You may not like it - but them's the facts.
I rest my case!

Foxy,

"Firstly, not all Australians were eligible to vote."

Precisely,

Therefore the statement that you have been pushing and which you said was a direct quote from the ABS:

"61.6% of the Australian population votes YES" cannot be correct, glad that you're finally getting the picture.

Paul,

You stated that the Korean War divided the Nation, so it's up to you to prove your statement, that's the way it works.

Is Mise,

No. that is not a statement that I have been pushing.
That is a statement that you have latched onto and left
out the explanations that the 61.6% refers to all
the eligible Australians who responded with a "yes."
There is a difference in what you are presenting and
what I am explaining. Therein lies your problem.
And it is your problem. Not mine.

Is Mise,

What I am pushing is:

61.6% of all eligible Australians responded "yes."

But you don't seem to get or understand that for some
reason.

Foxy,

"What I am pushing is:

61.6% of all eligible Australians responded "yes."

But you don't seem to get or understand that for some
reason."

Well, one of the reasons is that you said:

"At least the postal survey told us what we already
knew via opinion polls. That roughly 6 out of 10
Australians were in favour of same sex marriage.
And now it's official.

whereas the correct figure is that roughly 3 out of 10 Australians were in favour of same-sex marriage and now it's official.

Do you dispute the figures 3 out of 10?
