According to a media release from the CEO Institute:
Queensland seems to have weathered the worst of the global financial crisis, with 77% of CEOs having positive views on the economy and 60% saying they were likely to hire in the next six months, according to the inaugural CEO Financial Index.
I'm sure that's right because we did the survey. You can download the report by clicking here.

Yesterday The Australian and The Courier Mail ran polls from Newspoll and Galaxy which said the Liberals would lose seats if they rejected Malcolm Turnbull's position on an ETS. They claimed this on the basis of the public's view of global warming. This commentary was unsupportable on the basis of the polling.
Today The Sunday Mail has published polling by Glaxy which shows the public disagreeing with Turnbull's position. How are the polls to be reconciled?

While the quantitative responses to Rudd and Turnbull have stayed fairly stationary, there are some significant qualitative changes. I have marked the concept lists with different colours to show movements in concepts up and down in terms of mentions.

Only 38% of Australians favour passing the government's proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) before the Copenhagen climate summit, with 46% opposed. 42% of Australians are absolutely opposed to the CPRS, while only 40% support it.
This is the quantitative result of our online survey of 1022 Australians on global warming. The sample was balanced to reflect the voting patterns of Australians at large.

Global warming is back as the top issue after taking second place for much of this year. The table below needs to be viewed with a bit of caution because we have changed versions of Leximancer which is the software program we use to count concepts. The relevance appears to be a consistent concept between the tables, but the percentages in the latest sample don't appear to match well with those from the previous one, so rely on rank order rather than absolute measurements.

Our figures show that voters are generally optimistic about the direction of the country. They are even more optimistic about their own personal circumstances.
In October last year 53% thought the country was heading in the right direction. That plunged to 41% in May this year. Those who thought the country was heading in the wrong direction went from 28% to 42%. There has been a significant reversal in these figures with 49% thinking the country is heading in the right direction now and 36% disagreeing.

I don't put a lot of store in the vanity polls, but they are interesting to follow, not least to see what everyone else says about them.
In our vanity poll this month we see a strong bounce back in the popularity ratings by Malcolm Turnbull while Rudd's show essentially no change.

Is the National Party on to something? For the first time I have included their index calculation in our First Preference Indicator (FPI) graph below. The index has now been going for just over 12 months and it shows little real change in the Labor and Liberal votes in that time with the Greens up slightly. In contrast the National Party vote has been on a roller coaster - down dramatically in the middle of the year, and now up substantially on 12 months ago.

Our quantitative analysis of Australian politics shows a few changes that might be significant. The National Party vote appears to be improving, and Malcolm Turnbull's disapproval rating has also improved.
Otherwise results are little different from 12 months ago.
