> It's a shame it got so muddied. The whole structure of the survey (not vote) was deliberately done to confuse the issue. - It's not legally binding on the parliament (it's a survey, not a vote) - It's not mandatory participation like voting (again, survey) - It was done by the ABS with responses tracable back to the person - supposedly those responses will be destroyed and not recorded elsewhere. - It was mailed out in recognisable letters, allowing sabotage of the survey (plenty of examples of letters being dumped on footpaths, some examples of someone responding on behalf of others) - Responses were sent back in recognisable envelopes through which you could see the response, again permitting anyone with access to the mail to tamper/destroy responses they disagreed with. - Those handling the responses were put under gag clauses which prevent them from talking about any issues they might have witnessed. - No independent witnesses to the counting process.
