How:
The poll was conducted by means of a state-of-the-art hybrid online and mobile survey. Hence, 70% of respondents participated in response to an email and completed the survey online, and 30% were invited by means of a text message sent to their mobile phone, and completed the survey on a smartphone. A limited sample, high-response rate process was used to ensure a good profile of respondents.
When:
The poll was conducted between Thursday 3rd September and Friday 4th September 2015.
Who:
Participants in this poll comprised a nationally representative selection of members of the Surveyvillage online panel who had opted-in to participate in online surveys and who were entitled to vote in Australia. In total there were 1,019 respondents who completed the poll.
Analysis:
The survey invitations were managed in order invite a statistically balance representation of people in each major city and regional area across Australia, and the results were weighted to the latest population statistics by age, gender and location.
