The Queensland government has belatedly released the first five ‘waves’ of an ongoing polling project that has been undertaken by Ipsos Public Affairs via a $390,000 public contract. Former premier Annastacia Palaszczuk had consistently refused to release the findings of the polling, which has canvassed Queenslanders’ views on issues such as the 2032 Brisbane Olympics Games, youth crime, economic management and the government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ipsos sentiment testing has influenced the government’s policy decisions since Premier Steven Miles succeeded Palaszczuk in December; the polling had also contributed to Palaszczuk’s decision to resign.
