This week’s Queensland election is taking place amidst widespread distrust of government throughout the electorate. Importantly, Net Distrust in government in Queensland has been consistently worse than in the rest of Australia for over three years, according to the latest figures from the Roy Morgan Risk Monitor. Although levels of trust have been relatively stable over the last few years, and even increased since mid-2022 soon after the election of the current Albanese Government, it is vital to also understand the impact of distrust – which only Roy Morgan measures. The changes in distrust have been far more dramatic and have dropped to record lows over the last year, driving Net Distrust down significantly both nationally and in Queensland. Premier Steven Miles has scored more highly than Opposition leader David Crisafulli for both trust (3.8% cf. 1.7%) and for distrust (4.3% cf. 2.2%). Meanwhile, 20% of respondents say they trust the LNP, slightly more than the 18.7% that trust the ALP; only 6.1% trust One Nation and just 5.1% trust the Greens.
