Q. Thinking about our current political and economic system – that is, the structures that set the rules for the way Australian society operates – which of the following best describes your view?
| Total | Vote Labor | Vote Lib/Nat | Vote Greens | Vote other | ||
| The system needs to be fundamentally changed | 40% | 44% | 31% | 43% | 52% | |
| The system is fundamentally sound but needs to be refined | 44% | 43% | 52% | 54% | 38% | |
| The system works well as it is and should not be changed in any substantial way | 6% | 3% | 10% | 1% | 5% | |
| Don’t know | 11% | 9% | 7% | 2% | 5% |
44% think Australia’s political and economic system is fundamentally sound but needs to be refined and 40% think the system needs to be fundamentally changed. Only 6% think it should not be changed in any way.
Those most likely to think it needs fundamental change were “other” voters (52%) and those on incomes under $1,000 pw (47%).
Those most likely to think the system just needs to be refined were LNP voters (52%), Greens voters (54%) and incomes over $2,000 pw (52%).
