Deni Speaks (11/7/17)

July 11 2017

For the last two weeks, we ran four polls on our website with questions on Business,  DNS, Politics and the MDBP.

Questions asked

Business in the local area is…..
How are you doing for you?
As we head towards elections, which party is looking good for your vote?
Has the MDBP done any good for locals?

Results

Business in the local area is……

Sparse in a couple of places otherwise OK – 73%
On a downturn – 18%
Looking steady shops wise – 9%
Looking great, let the good times roll – 0%

How are you doing for you?

Great – 60%
OK – 20%
Bad – 10%
Time to Give Up – 10%

As we head towards elections, which party is looking good for your vote?

One Nation – 27%
ALP – 23%
Libs/Nats – 18%
Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party – 9%
Independents – 9%
Other Parties (Sex Party etc.) – 9%
Donkey Vote – 5%

Has the MDBP done any good for locals?

No it has not- 78%
Giving it more time – 17%
Yes it has – 6%

Conclusion

The majority of voters say they think things are going OK for local business though no voters believe that things are looking great and 18% believe things are on a downturn which might concern some people.

The majority of voters think that DNS is doing great at the moment, this is very pleasing especially after opening ourselves up to potential heartbreak or disappointment though we do need to improve with 40% of voters thinking we’re doing OK, bad or want us to give up.

Our political poll has shown that people are happy to take a chance on One Nation whilst the ALP might have their foot in the door and the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party might want to start whispering in the ears of locals as there is support out there.

Those in the minor parties might want to get to work right away as people do like those who are working for local interests around the clock compared to somebody who comes along when it is election time.

Unhappiness with the Murray Darling Basin Plan continues with a large majority believing it has not done a thing whilst most of the remaining voters are waiting to see if any improvement happens.

New poll questions will be available tomorrow, if anyone has sensible questions that want polled please let us know.
 

 

Locals unhappy with Senator

June 23 2017.

Locals are unhappy with Senator Hanson’s comments that Autistic children should be taken out of classrooms.

Deniliquin like every other city and town has people who are in the autism spectrum and so these comments hit home and have hurt deeply and sparking concern of what could happen if Senator Hanson or her party get to play a role in education policy.

Every child on this planet of ours has a right to get the best possible education, they also have the right to be among children their own age, nobody wants to be placed higher or lower than others in the pursuit of the best quality of life.

It will be interesting to see if the thoughts by Senator Hanson will affect her party’s chances in upcoming State and Federal elections as popularity for her party is currently high with the possibility of changing the outcomes for incumbent and aspiring politicians.
