Australians speak 2005: public opinion and foreign policy

Abstract

The Lowy Institute Poll is the most comprehensive single survey ever taken of Australian public opinion on foreign policy. The report, Australians Speak 2005: Public Opinion and Foreign Policy, contains insights on issues ranging from Australian defence policy to relations with our friends and allies and our involvement in Iraq.

The 2005 Poll is the first of a regular Lowy Institute series which not only takes a snapshot of Australian views at a particular moment, but will also enable us to track changes in public attitudes over time. The Data Book containing the raw results of the survey is also available for download.
