Sir,
Where does the 'average Kiwi' stand on this year's controversial rugby tour of South Africa? With the help of a friend, I did a little to find out.
Last week, in Cuba Mall and later in Willis and Manners Streets, we stopped 50 passers-by at random and asked their opinions. Here are the results:
Cuba Mall
For: 37
Against:9
Don't Know: 4
Manners Street
For: 32
Against: 13
Don't Know: 5
Willis Street
For: 35
Against: 11
Don't Know: 4
I feel these samples represent public opinion more accurately than any taken, say, inside a university. Why can't some responsible body go into the matter and take a large opinion poll? The result would show certain factions exactly where they stand.
