I couldn’t possibly comment

Two excerpts from Gavin White’s  SAYit blog:

The flag

The specific question was “do you think the New Zealand flag should be changed?”.  The answers were:

  • Yes 19%
  • No 77%
  • Unsure 4%

And on conspiracy theories

…the moon landing:

  • 20% of us think that it’s likely that the United States of America government staged or faked the Apollo moon landing (5% very likely, 15% somewhat likely)
  • 74% think it’s unlikely
  • 6% are unsure or haven’t heard of this conspiracy before..
