Methodology	Content
Sampling Procedure	stratified random sample The survey was conducted with two samples: a National Sample, and an additional sample from two electorates in south-east Australia - Eden-Monaro and Gippsland. Each sample was a systematic random sample of persons on the Federal Electoral Role. The selection of the National sample was made on the basis of a sampling fraction distributed proportionately across all states and territories, with the exception of South Australia, where the sample was selected manually from the alphabetic microfiche of electors. The target was for a sample of approximately one in every 3084 persons. Broken down by State and Territory, the target number of respondents was: NSW-1185, Vic-910, Qld-588, WA-320, SA-314, Tas-101, ACT-56, NT-26. For the South-east survey, the sample aimed to include 1 in 148 persons in Gippsland, and 1 in 151 persons in Eden-Monaro. Number of units in original sample: National sample - 3500; South-east sample - 1000
