A special Roy Morgan telephone survey has found that 91 per cent of Australians aged 14+ believe the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes should be made legal. The survey, which was carried out from 20-22 October 2015, also shows that 94 per cent of Australians aged 50-64 and 94 per cent of those aged 65+ believe that medicinal marijuana should be legalised. Support for legalisation is similarly strong among Australians intending to vote for the L-NP (92 per cent) in the next federal election and those planning to vote for the ALP (94 per cent), and almost unanimous among Green voters (97 per cent). Roy Morgan Research CEO Michele Levine notes that the survey found that only one-third of Australians believes that the smoking of marijuana should be made legal. This demonstrates that Australians understand that smoking and consuming marijuana for medicinal purposes are two very separate issues.

Type 2 diabetes a growing problem in Australia

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 15-Oct-15

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that the number of Australians aged 18+ diagnosed with some form of diabetes has increased from 915,000 to more than 1.2 million since 2007. This growth was driven primarily by a rise in Type 2 diabetes, which accounts for just over 90 per cent of Australians 18+ diagnosed with diabetes. The survey, which was carried out in the year to June 2015, also shows that people with Type 2 diabetes are twice as likely as the average Australian to be classified as obese (54 per cent vs 26 per cent), and markedly less likely to participate in regular or occasional sport/exercise (34 per cent vs 47 per cent). Meanwhile, 83 per cent of Type 2 diabetics are aged 50 years or older, while more than half of people with the condition are from the less affluent E and FG quintiles.
