With over 5,300 votes, this is this the biggest poll by far in the list of 
results of past Age polls, which goes back as far as December 2007.  The first 
poll listed is for "Is the Victorian Government right to cancel next year's 
duck hunting season?", which only got 1120 votes.  The Yes vote was 83%.

It will take 1000 votes to even this poll up.

Even though these polls are statistically meaningless, they are probably a good 
indication of how organised each side is.  Given the huge number of voters in 
this one, both sides are fairly well organised.

Dear Birders,
AS Chair of BASNA I received the following e-mail today. I voted and the site 
then reported nearly 60% in FAVOUR OF DUCK SHOOTING. Please vote and get the 
balance back the other way.

"The link below is a poll on duck shooting.

>From what we have been told, the shooters have contacted all their members to 
>complete the poll!

Now, it is our turn.
So far the results are very much in the pro-hunting camp which we know is not 
accurate of what the general public thinks.

Please pass this onto family and friends and vote to ban this barbaric activity.

http://www.theage.com.au/polls/national/form.html - vote no you don't agree 
with duck shooting season

Please help us to get duck shooting banned."

Regards

Peter Marsh
