I do hate these polls, These questions fall into the category of ambiguity
like "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" . Yes or No you can't win.
How do I know what the question "Do you believe the duck season should
return to a full 12 weeks?"means?
I'm from NSW so I don't know what length the duck shooting season is in Vic
but I assume, from the question, it is longer than 12 weeks, say 24 weeks.
In which case if I'm anti duck shooting a "return to 12 weeks" is better
than 24 weeks. So my answer is "Yes".
I voted "No" though!
