The Australian Government’s primary vote has risen by 0.5 per cent to 38.5 per cent, according to a new Morgan Poll. The Australian Labor Party’s primary vote has risen by the same margin, to 37.5 per cent. Meanwhile, a Newspoll shows that the Coalition’s primary vote has risen to 41 per cent in the wake of police raids on terrorism suspects. Roy Morgan Research executive chairman Gary Morgan says the key issue for Australia at present is unemployment and under-employment, rather than national security

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"
