Australian Institute for Progress: Queensland Election Polling

Dear ,

As a member of the Queensland parliament I thought you might like to know about the results of our polling during the last election.

The Australian Institute for Progress is a think tank based in Queensland. Amongst other things we conduct qualitative polling about what is important to Australians through our publication On Line Opinion. The results are published on the What the people want website. I also use the results in my commentary in the newspapers, and on Friday morning on 612 ABC Brisbane.

We have been conducting this qualitative polling for 14 years with good results. As far as I know, I was the only mainstream commentator to predict that Labor would win the last election.

I have provided links to the analysis below, but if you want to perform your own, the de-identified data is available to members of parliament as a CSV file.

The articles that analyse the results are:

• Queensland election 2015: the quants
• Queensland election 2015: the qual
• Newman needs to raise ALP Ghosts
• Why swingers voted in Queensland
• Minor parties went pop
• Why minor party voters preferenced against the LNP

We have data going back to 2001, which is available as a public service. And we are always happy to talk about the results.

Regards,

Graham Young
Executive Director
