Sydney, Australia (News Today) - Local government officials in Australia were struggling in their attempts to find youngsters for a well-meaning survey — until it went viral on Facebook. The survey on how to crack down on drunk troublemakers surged from fewer than 1,000 respondents to more than 15,000 after campaigners posted it on the popular social networking site.
“It appears that (Facebook) was a huge catalyst for this age group to respond,” Queensland liquor licensing minister Peter Lawlor told the Brisbane Times newspaper.
“If you’re looking at people like me, that obviously wouldn’t work as effectively, but I think for that age group it is positive. This is the way communications are heading,” he said.
Respondents to the online survey, who were mostly aged under 25, backed government moves to make entertainment precincts safer but overwhelmingly opposed earlier closing times.
