Today’s special Roy Morgan survey conducted over three nights last week shows a clear majority of Australians (58%) support Muslim immigration compared to only 33% that oppose. Importantly, majorities of supporters of Australia’s major political parties support Muslim immigration as well – 51% of L-NP supporters (cf. 36% oppose); 67% of ALP supporters (cf. 25% oppose); 88% of Greens supporters (cf. 5% oppose). Only supporters of a resurgent One Nation party are strongly opposed to Muslim immigration – 87% opposed cf. 4% support. Previous Roy Morgan surveys have consistently showed a majority of Australians support Muslim immigration: A year ago in October 2015 65% of Australians supported Muslim immigration cf. 28% opposed; and in July 2010 54% of Australians supported Muslim immigration cf. 35% opposed. However, across a number of questions relating to immigration, and the ideal size for Australia, there has been a shift away from supporting growth and immigration over the last year. This is not back to the levels recorded in 2010 but does give a clear sense that Australians are becoming less open to immigration.
