It's a perfectly legitimate question.
Current Poll
Do you think it is likely that an Abbott government would bring back WorkChoices?
Likely 62%
Unlikely 33%
Not sure 5%
405 votes counted
All is shows is the leftist bias of The Drum readership... and their ignorance.

When a party is elected that you disagree with generally, do you simply think to yourself that the electorate is biased?
are you able to separate disagreement from a perception of bias?
Who cares about polls on websites. Seriously, when did these become the basis for anything except this...
No. Do you?
Yes. Can you?

AFR said:Today’s Essential poll shows 53 per cent of voters believe it’s likely Mr Abbott would resurrect the Howard government laws, despite him saying they were “dead, buried and cremated”.
The day real science and analysis didn't support their world view.
Bit hard Chops. Calliope was correct to tilt at the Climate Change windmill, and the ALP Surplus windmill. Conservative thought has moved on from your so 1970s.. "..pinko poofter communist.." sloganeering.I think you guys should stop tilting at windmills.
We all know that the only thing us pinko poofter communist types read is the conversation, these days.
Can't even get your target correct.
Oh my! Specks and logs immediatly come to mind.
I haven't seen a jot of evidence that you have even the remotest understanding of these two concepts.
What is wrong with the available responses?
No and Yes respectively but your responses are difficult to correlate with your observation about the ABC online poll, namely:
It is this labelling of groups as holding a "leftist bias" attribute based on the responses to an issue that highlights the difficulty that people should be aware of when assessing claims of bias in a wider context. sample size, validity of online polling, margins of error, etc., if a similar figure within the wider community. Setting aside for the moment believe what is asked in that poll then in fact it is representative of that understanding, be that right or wrong, congruent or not with your opinion. That you disagree or believe that people are wrong would seem to factor into your assessments and thus unfounded accusations of bias.
Currently 61%. Last poll I saw from nearly 12 months ago was similar.
We could now bring in issues such as sample size, validity of online polling, margins of error, etc.?
And did you end up reading the analysis about media slant? It's an interesting read for those with a genuine interest in the topic.
Who cares? You stick with your biases and I'll stick with mine.I'm sure nobody else gives a stuff. :bad:
By all means, continue as you wish. As will I
The available options do not give the opportunity to say NO they will not re introduce Work Choices, all available options leave doubt.
Likely
Unlikely and
Unsure
are all choices which leave the possibility open.
As all Labor dickheads are always harping on about this as a scare campaign where it's been made perfectly clear over time that it's NOT a possibility I object to the public funded ABC playing that game.
This should be fun ... (pulls up armchair ...)

So, you're saying there is absolute no doubt about these matters?
That survey is balanced. They have left out yes as well. The fewer option you have, the more likely you are to get statistically significant result from you sampling of a limited population.
BTW what are your thoughts about the ABC when over the period of time that the Howard government was in power?
