From the weather to history, it is all being re-written to suit someone's agenda. And for the sake of what? Bringing down society, electing an incompetent Party, subscribing to something which does not exist? What sort of world do these people want to live in......a false one???
It was Benjamin Disraeli (twice UK PM) who said "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." I'd add a fourth and fifth; "AU family court orders and AU DV allegations"
Thanks Verity - this survey is a good example of what you are saying. It was interesting to see how the ABS adjusted the survey participant shortfall in such a way that they were able to maintain the same 3 to 1 proportion, which I think shows where their priority was. Getting the right outcome was far more important than getting an accurate outcome. Gave the game away I think. As you could probably guess, I'm a little dubious of survey results these days.
