1005 people are NOT the majority.

Dear media outlets when you run a story saying the majority of Australian's are against the Carbon Tax and support Mr Abbott's plan to abolish it maybe you should interview more that 1005 people.  You can't say that less than 0.00001% of the population that you interviewed(we have something like 27 MILLION people in Australia) are the Majority of Australian's.  It may be the majority of the people you spoke to but 1005 people are NOT and never will be the Majority of Australian's unless there was a death plague and millions of people died.  I know that the heading the majority of 1005 people interviewed isn't exactly a headline grabber but a little more of the truth in your reporting would go a long way to putting the faith people have lost in journalist.

This was nothing more than a media beat up.  A majority would be 20 million out of 27 million or 17 million out of 27 million not 1005 out of 27 million.
