These alleged "polls' are deliberately set to provide a predetermined result, they are meaningless and do not represent the views of the broad cross section of Australian society.

Reality deniers say the same thing on "If an election were held tomorrow ... " voting intention polls - when they don't like what they HEAR

Yet when an ACTUAL election is held at the same time, results are rarely more than a percentage point or two either way

DESPITE opinion poll samples being only between one and two thousand

Theres zero credibility to these polls. we need to see, Exactly what questions where asked, sample size, how the questions were asked, were they random, were they phone polled, etc etc etc. If you want i can give you a poll giving you any outcome you want including 90 percent of people support hitlers extermination of the jews.

I propose that the poll on this thread be declared binding, as of right now.

Yes
37 (49.3%)
No
38 (50.7%)

Although it would be absolutely hilarious if a referendum were held and it was defeated.

Referendums are for Australian Constitutional matters

This is NOT a constitutional matter

A referendum has ALREADY been ruled out on these grounds

yeah we've been over that and

debunked it

Incorrect.

You've debunked nothing.

All you've done is demonstrate your ability to ignore facts and tell lies.

If you wish to continue, you'll have to do a lot better.

These alleged "polls' ...

They are polls. Fact.

The majority of Australians want same-sex marriage legalised. Fact.

You'll just have to learn ( a new experience for you) to live with it.

Nor mine.

However, I'd suggest that you do some research on polling or, at the very least, produce some poll results of your own.

Lets see a competely random phone poll result with a large sample size and a non loaded question. Until then, all rubbish.

Good idea. Yep. Certainly worth considering.
