I wish all the people who harp on about sample size would at least google it first before commenting that they know better than academics whose job this is.
If you want to draw conclusions on the ideas of 28 million people i would say you would need to survey at last half of them, projecting the answers of 3000 people to the whole population of australia is a big generalization

I’m sorry but you’re just wrong. Go read up on how this works, you should be able to find lots of sources.
I run a survey and interviewed 10 people on lemmy, i conclude that you are a tankie.
That would’ve been a good opportunity to admit you got it wrong but you chose to double down on the stupid. Oh well.
