Better estimate of registration in Parklands

It's very bad.

I got a printout of the DA's 2004 general election canvassing record for Parklands on the weekend.

In the older southern areas of Parklands registration is probably around 50%. In the new northern areas, it's no better than 10%, and we've canvassed much less than half of those people.

In other words we are a) letting thousands of votes go to waste and b) not even getting the small number of registered voters out on election day.
