Our readers' views are important to us - that's why we want to get your opinions every day on a range of subjects.
So we thought it was time for a little feedback...
Our daily poll asks you what you think about a topic in the news, whether it's raising rego, having a brothel operating near your home or the right fine for taking a cat's life.

Well I believe ,as do a lot of users, that these polls can and are rigged to suit the outcome you require!!
Aug 17 10:09 amI am refering to the recent poll regarding compensation for David Bain.
I attempted to vote "NO" but got blocked.Tried a few times and then thought Id test it by voting "YES" and it was accepted!!!Was that a coincidence?
