Observation
For the first time in the Lowy Institute Poll, Australians were asked their view of the federal government’s overall handling of Australia’s foreign policy.
A majority of Australians (56%) say the current Labor government is doing a good job, 15 points more than those who say it is doing a poor job (41%). Most people hold these views moderately, but a larger share say the government is doing a ‘very poor job’ (12%) compared to those who say it is doing a ‘very good job’ (7%).
