AUSTRALIAN SURVEY

Australians don’t take politics or the direction of our country as seriously as we should. It’s only when things go wrong for ourselves, or to someone close to us, do we realise how much we need to address issues with People Power.

It is advisable to read the book before completing this survey, as thoughts and opinions may change or vary and this may affect your answers. This is not an average survey — it is intended to show our politicians the overall results of what Australians consider important and want done, now, not later. Only the overall results of this survey will be published. No individual (or collective) survey will be provided to any third party, and all surveys will be destroyed once the overall results have been determined.
