g'Day Peter, Dave and all
Perhaps most Green zealots do little else but sit around and play with
their iphones while waiting for an opportunity to push poll buttons and
preach left wing philosophy. It probably takes more time for more
productive members of society who are mostly at work to find out or even
bother with frivolous polls in Fairfax media.
The reality seems to be, that the Green pendulum has swung back to the
right. Especially here in Tasmania, most if its good citizens appear to
be fed up with the high social costs of being lumbered with green public
policy that has achieved little more than to make the state a feel good
playground for visitors.
The saddest part is that despite such a high social cost, there has been
little success in achieving reasonable conservation benchmarks, i.e.
Orange-bellied Parrot. The costly green experiment appears to have failed.

It's now on 83% yes, and the vote count has increased from about 3000 when I
looked yesterday evening to nearly 120,000.
At least it's now obvious it can't be believed.

I voted and at that time the NO vote was ahead, I checked 5
mins later and the YES vote had doubled :( This also happened
2 weeks ago in a Gold Coast Bulletin online poll with regards
a Cruise Ship Terminal on our wonderful Broadwater.

It is well known that all Fairfax readers are left-wing,
tree-hugging greenies so why would any good conservative
government any any attention to such a poll?

The Australian PM is quoted as saying "We don't support, as a
government and as a Coalition, further lockouts of our
forests ...We
have quite enough National Parks, we have quite enough locked up
forests already. In fact, in an important respect, we have too much
locked
up forest."
There is a poll in the Fairfax media that runs until 9 pm
EST, 10 pm
EDST and 7 pm WST where you can note your opinion.
