"A national survey on attitudes towards dog racing revealed that 69 per cent of Australians oppose the use of taxpayer funds to prop up the greyhound racing industry,"

 

The survey sampled 804 people over 18 at random, with interviews apportioned demographically and geographically, based on population data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

 

804 people surveyed... I'd hardly call that a sufficiently large representation of the whole population. 70% were from urban areas, 30% "rural" (doesn't break down further to regional/rural/remote) - the gender breakdown is male 49%, female 51%. I would like to see a further breakdown of which urban areas elicited the highest number of responses sympathetic to the purpose of the survey - as typically inner city residents are more likely to be politically active in this sense.
