The ABC has come under fire for claiming that climate change was voters' number one issue three days before climate-championing Labor was smashed at the polls.
ABC News last week said that a survey on its website, the vote compass, had found the environment was most voters' main concern.
The corporation claimed its poll was 'properly representative of the population' - but later admitted its readers did not represent the whole electorate.

In an article on Monday after the election, the ABC said those answering the survey were a 'self-selecting sample'.
In the bulletin on May 15, newsreader Juanita Phillips said: 'Australians have told the ABC's vote compass that the environment is the number one issue for them this election.'
The clip was uploaded to YouTube by a viewer with the caption: 'Listen to what the ABC's dodgy Vote Compass was telling us about what Australians were thinking just three days out from election day.
'This report aired on the 15th of May, providing yet more evidence that the ABC exists in an echo chamber of Leftists, rich inner-city elitists and climate obsessives and doesn't represent the views of wider Australia.'
The bulletin said the survey showed that a majority of Australians from all sides of the political spectrum want action on climate change but disagree over how to tackle it.
It claimed that 81 per cent of people want government to do more to tackle climate change, up from 61 per cent in 2013.
The bulletin said that 96 per cent of Labor voters want more action while only 59 per cent of Coalition voters do.
