Think Education Group has issued the results of new polling commissioned from Pureprofile. They show that among 18-to-35-year-olds fewer than two thirds believe that the education they received has given them the skills they need in their jobs. Among vocational training graduates the ratio is even lower, at just 57%. Think CEO Linda Brown says more needs to be done to eliminate the gap between the education system and the "real world". Another finding is that men tend to choose their field of study based on the salary they want to earn, while women "follow their passion"

Morgan Poll Update – Page: Online : 26-Aug-14

A face-to-face Morgan Poll has found that Australian inflation expectations over the next two years fell by 0.3 per cent to five per cent a year in July 2014. This is also 0.3 per cent lower than in June 2013. Analysis by federal voting intention shows that Coalition supporters have the lowest inflation expectations, at four per cent, compared with 5.2 per cent for Australian Labor Party supporters. Roy Morgan Research executive chairman Gary Morgan says the most important policy priority for the Federal Government is to reduce Australia’s high level of unemployment and under-employment if it is to stand any chance of winning the 2016 election
