I'm thinking the result of the poll will end up "disappearing" and the results removed. Most of these anti polls just "disappear". The only ones that get exposure are when the "results" are what they consider favourable, ie banning something etc.

The poll went out to the duck shooting Field and Game Assoc email list, other club email lists, and numerous forums in Australia and where Aussies are members to get a decent result.

It would be interesting to know what total number of votes were cast, especially compared to other "Brumby website" polls (ie Brumby is the Vic Premier). I asked the webmasters for this, and will again.

The net result is too easy to manipulate. I remember an RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) in Tasmania running an anti duck hunting poll. Shooters easily outvoted the greenie extremists, but suddenly well over a thousand votes in favour of banning duck shooting appeared out of nowhere.

I emailed the Tas RSPCA and threatened to expose the farce to the media, we had copies of the poll result overtime btw. Also with nearly 2000 votes cast in total, most RSPCA polls had less than a hundred votes in total that poll was VERY unusual. Suddenly the whole poll system was taken off the public site.
