Details
The 1998 Australian Election Study is the fifth in a series of surveys beginning in 1987 that
have been timed to coincide with Australian Federal elections. The series also builds on the
1967, 1969 and 1979 Australian Political Attitudes Surveys. The Australian Election Studies aim
to provide a long-term perspective on stability and change in the political attitudes and
behaviour of the Australian electorate, and investigate the changing social bases of Australian
politics as the economy and society modernise and change character. In addition to these
long-term goals they examine the political issues prevalent in the election and assess their
importance for the election result.
The 1998 survey replicates many questions from the 1987, 1990, 1993 and 1996 Australian Election
Studies, but also introduces a variety of new questions including a section on the constitution,
rights and minorities. Other sections cover the respondent's interest in the election campaign
and politics, their past and present political affiliation, evaluation of parties and candidates,
alignment with parties on various election issues, evaluation of the current economic situation,
attitudes to a range of election issues including the GST, immigration, unemployment, the Telstra
sale, and education, views on the monarchy and the importance of Australia becoming a republic,
attitudes to issues relating to the environment and defence, assessment of the current level of
racial prejudice operating in Australia today, and opinions on various social policy issues
including euthanasia, abortion, equal opportunities, sex discrimination, and government
assistance to Aborigines.
Background variables include level of education, employment status, occupation, type of employer,
position at workplace, trade union membership, sex, age, own and parents country of birth,
parents' political preferences, religion, marital status, income, and where applicable, the
occupation, trade union membership and political preference of the respondent's spouse.
