Participant Details
Original Note:
Only 61.6% of Australians supported same-sex couples to marry, as part of a non-compulsory postal survey conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Valid turnout was 79.5%. The result was legally non-binding, and was not comparable to a referendum. https://constitution-unit.com/2017/12/11/australias-postal-survey-on-same-sex-marriage-a-flawed-process-that-should-not-be-repeated/ https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/gay-marriage/abs-warns-against-posting-samesex-marriage-survey-forms-on-social-media/news-story/576c61c236aa2a8e4b770d255d2fd515 https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/same-sex-marriage-survey-concerns-over-people-boasting-of-multiple-votes/mtvwdcba2 https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/10/voting-twice-australia-same-sex-marriage-national-survey-1/
