Poll position
Posted August 2nd, 2009 by debritz
Couriermail.com.au is running an online poll, asking readers whether Queensland needs another royal commission in light of allegations of improper dealings between politicians and big business. On Friday, more than 90 percent of respondents said Yes, now the vast majority say No. I know online polls are notoriously unreliable, but how is it that the current result is so at odds with the more scientific Galaxy Poll in today's Sunday Mail, which concludes that the State Government is "on the nose"? Am I being cynical or has somebody - or some group of people with a vested interest and some IT knowledge that gets around the code preventing multiple voting - been pushing the button on the online poll again and again and again?
