A Roy Morgan Single Source survey, which was carried out in the year to March 2016, has found that 55.6 per cent of Australian electors agree with the statement "globalisation brings more problems than it solves". This compares with 59.4 per cent in the year to March 2013. The proportion of Liberal voters who agree with the statement has fallen from 62.4 per cent to 56.6 per cent over the last three years, while the proportion of Labor voters who agree with the statement has fallen from 55.8 per cent to 55.1 per cent. Just 45.9 per cent of Greens voters believe that globalisation brings more problems than it solves, down from 48.6 per cent before the last federal election.

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 23.2 per cent of Australians aged 14+ went jogging on a regular or occasional basis in the year to March 2016, compared with 14 per cent in the year to March 2006. Jogging was the fastest-growing sport/exercise in Australia over the last 10 years, ahead of hiking/bushwalking, cycling and yoga. Men’s overall participation has increased from 16.4 per cent to 24.2 per cent, while the proportion of women joggers has almost doubled from 11.6 per cent to 22.2 per cent. The survey also shows that while jogging participation peaks among the 14-24 year-old age bracket, older age brackets have shown the biggest change – particularly among women.

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that just over 7.4 million Australians aged 18+ (more than four in every 10) reported having had back pain at least once in the year to March 2016. Some 43.2 per cent of the 65+ age group have had back pain in the last 12 months, but 40.7 per cent of those in the 30-34 age group also had back pain. The survey also shows that a person’s occupation does not appear to increase the risk of back pain either, as 40.5 per cent of both labourers and clerical/admin workers have had back pain, while technicians and trades workers are more likely to be affected with back pain (43.2 per cent).

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 34.3 per cent of Australians aged 14+ watch tennis on television occasionally or almost always. They are slightly more inclined than the average Australian to "find TV advertising interesting" (21.6 per cent vs 19.7 per cent) and less inclined to agree that "Nearly all TV advertising annoys me" (65.9 per cent vs 68.1 per cent). More than three-quarters of them watch Wimbledon broadcaster Channel 7 (and its affiliates) in an average seven days, well above the population average of 67.6 per cent. Meanwhile, the 1,025,000 million Australians (or 15.2 per cent of total tennis viewers) who play tennis themselves as well as watching it on TV, are not only more tolerant towards TV advertising than those who simply watch it on the box, but more likely to have cash to splash.
