A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 41% of Australians aged 14+ now have a progressive viewpoint on social issues (up from 35% in 2006). More Australians now have a progressive viewpoint than a "Middle of the Road" attitude to social issues (down from 40% in 2006 to 36% today). A traditional outlook has also become less common, declining from 23% to 21% over the period. Meanwhile, 39% of Australians now agree they are attracted to new things and ideas, up from 34% ten years ago. Conversely, just 21% say they are cautious when it comes to newness – down from 24% a decade ago. As would be expected, people with a progressive viewpoint on social issues and an attraction to new things are also more likely to be early adopters. This in turn also makes them ideal trusted advisers.
