Hey Kids, I’d nearly forgotten, but it’s an Essential polling Tuesday! essentialvision.com.au

Let’s see what we can find. As usual, this polling was done Wed–Sun and the margin of error on top-line figures is around ±3 percentage points. Here we go...
Performance of Scott Morrison. essentialvision.com.au/performance-of…

“The Prime Minister’s approval rating has dropped to 48%, the lowest of the last 12 months (54% last month), with disapproval at 42% (37% in October).” Image
Performance of Anthony Albanese. essentialvision.com.au/performance-of…

No real change here, bu the “unsure” figure is still quite high at 25%. Image
Preferred Prime Minister. essentialvision.com.au/preferred-prim…

No change. Image
Views towards re-electing the federal Coalition government. essentialvision.com.au/views-towards-…

“45% of Australians think it’s time to change federal governments, while 34% think the Coalition deserves to be re-elected.” Image
Party trust to handle issues. essentialvision.com.au/party-trust-to…

“In the time since the fall-out from the government’s AUKUS submarine announcement and Morrison’s COP26 performance, fewer people trust the Liberal party to maintain international relations and handle national security.” Image
Importance of Australia’s international reputation, first in an interesting series of questions here. essentialvision.com.au/importance-of-… Image
“Australia’s international reputation is seen to be of great value, with 54% saying it is very important to maintain a good reputation among international neighbours and trading partners and a further 39% saying it is fairly important,“ or 93% saying it’s some sort of important.
Scott Morrison’s impact on Australia’s international reputation. essentialvision.com.au/scott-morrison…

“Around half of people (47%) believe Scott Morrison has undermined Australia’s international reputation during his tenure as Prime Minister.” Image

Federal government response to Covid-19. essentialvision.com.au/federal-govern…

“48% of people rate the federal government’s response to the Covid-19 outbreak as quite good or very good,” much the same as recent months. ImageImage
State government response to Covid-19. essentialvision.com.au/state-governme…

“Rating of Victoria’s state government increased this week, from 43% a fortnight ago to 56% – equivalent to the positive rating in NSW (57% positive rating).” Image
Uptake of a Covid-19 vaccine – Adults. essentialvision.com.au/uptake-of-a-co… ImageImage
Uptake of a Covid-19 vaccine – Children. essentialvision.com.au/uptake-of-a-co…

I’ve included a screenshot of all the Essential notes here because why not. ImageImageImage
And now onto climate. Impact of government’s net zero emissions 2050 target. essentialvision.com.au/impact-of-gove… Image
Understanding of government’s net zero emissions 2050 target. essentialvision.com.au/understanding-…

“Just one-in-five people think the government’s plan to achieve its emission targets are clear and provide a credible plan (21%).” Image
“The majority think the plan to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 is not credible. 36% say while they understand the target, the plan is not credible and a further 22% think the target is unclear and the plan not credible.”
Increasing emissions target ambitions. essentialvision.com.au/increasing-emi…

“43% of people want to see a more ambitious target set for 2030 in order to achieve the net zero emission target in 2050.” Image

“Around half of people are not confident that the COP26 summit will result in meaningful change – either globally or locally (both 52%).” ImageImage
Attitudes to climate change and COP26. essentialvision.com.au/attitudes-to-c…

Lots of detail to consider here! ImageImageImageImage
And that’s the end of this fortnight’s Essential polling. As usual it’s all at essentialvision.com.au and you can sign up for email notification. I am not connected with Essential in any way.

THIS IS THE START OF MY THREAD ON THE FEDERAL BUDGET. #Budget2023

I’ll be looking specifically for things related to the cybers or digital life or adjacent issues.

The documents will be at budget.gov.au from 1930 AEST. To begin, some hints for understanding them...
The one I always hit first is Budget Paper No. 2. This lists and explains all the individual “budget measures”, which are the changes to every line item since the previous Budget or now-usual Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO). #Budget2023
Programmers, think of Budget Paper No. 2 as a set of diffs, with copious comments. #Budget2023

One continuing problem with “creating opportunities” framing is that it perpetuates the idea of “success”, whatever that is, as a moral virtue and not being able to take advantage of the “opportunity”, whatever that is, as a moral failing. So it’s YOUR fault not the government’s.
Obviously that is far from the only problem with these three meaningless claims. Not a concrete, measurable fact anywhere in them.
Here’s what I wrote to my federal MP @stemplemanmp on 27 April.

Tl;dr: A policy that doesn’t fix a problem for everyone affected in a timely manner is a policy that consciously chooses to continue the problem. Image

Causing discord. I'll explain a bit later.
So, I was just at the bottle shop and a young couple and their toddler were behind me. Greys given the cash to the toddler so she could enjoy paying the cashier. I leaned down, smiled. "Hi, can I have you money?" And she gave it to me.
I handed the cash back to the mother. She explains that the money should go to THAT man not THIS man. I asked again. This time the kid paused, confused, but still gave me the money.

"Yeah," I said, handing back the cash, you need to fix that." All laugh.
