ANU Poll 2020: Bushfires, The Environment, and Optimism For The Future

This dataset the 32nd ANU Poll undertaken by the Social Research Centre for the ANU. The purpose of the ANU Poll is to assess Australians' opinions on important and topical issues. These polls are typically conducted three times a year, or about every four months. Some questions appear in every poll in order to provide information about changes in opinion over time; the majority of questions appear in one poll only. This research is used to inform public debate and policy about issues affecting Australia. In this particular wave of the project, we investigate Australia's levels of optimism about the past and future. We also assess the community opinion on issues such as environment policy, globalisation and nudge interventions. Finally, we ask Australians about their personal experiences and satisfaction with government performance during the most recent bushfire season.

本数据集为澳大利亚国立大学社会科学研究中心所进行的第32次ANU调查。ANU调查旨在评估澳大利亚民众对于重要及热点议题的观点。此类调查通常每年进行三次，或大约每四个月一次。部分问题在每次调查中都会出现，以便提供关于观点随时间变化的连续信息；而大多数问题则仅出现在一次调查中。该研究旨在为关于影响澳大利亚的各项议题的公共辩论和政策制定提供信息。在本项目特定阶段，我们调查了澳大利亚民众对过去和未来的乐观程度。我们还评估了公众对于环境政策、全球化以及微干预措施等问题的观点。最后，我们询问了澳大利亚民众在最近森林大火季节中的个人经历以及对政府表现的满意度。
