The significance of numbers

ABC are quite excited about the Climate action rallies held on Sunday. ABC report that:
"Organisers say about 60,000 participated at the rallies, which were held in capital cities and more than 130 towns and regional centres."

 With Australia's population now over 23,283,000, this would mean that the rallies involved 0.26% of the population. 

It seems the real story is that 99.74% found something more worthwhile to do!

    I find it funny that the ABC didn't report on massive demonstrations held all around Poland in rejecting "carbon action" - the Polish know dicatorial faith when they see it!
