  1. I received this text today:

    "This is Voter Research Services with an opinion poll.

    Which Federal Political Party would you vote for if a Federal Election occurred?

    STOP to Stop"

    Apparently these kind of texts have been a thing for a year or more now, but whatever the source is no one really knows for sure. Basically, block, report as spam, or at least ignore.

  2. Political polling would be much more insightful - and potentially more useful - if it asked people how they would vote on specific issues in a hypothetical referendum, and abandoned the narrow focus on the hypothetical electoral fortunes of political parties.
