This is the problem with all online polls, petitions etc. They are so easy
to "influence" that I guess no-one takes much notice of them. Plus they are
hardly representative - I am sure if you put a survey on the "Australian
Pig Breeders" website (if such a thing exists!) you would find 98% of the
population own a pig or are planning to buy one. Equally despite my earlier
slightly flippant comment Fairfax does tend to have a less right-wing slant
than News Corp so that will always distort results.
