Details
The 2001 Australian Election Study is the sixth 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 2001 survey replicates many questions from the previous Australian Election Studies, but also
introduces a variety of new questions including a section on political and social institutions.
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 immigration, refugees and asylum seekers, terrorism, taxation,
unemployment, and workers entitlements, 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 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.

Details
The 2001 Australian Election Study is the sixth 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 2001 survey replicates many questions from the previous Australian Election Studies, but also introduces a variety of new questions including a section on political and social institutions. 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 immigration, refugees and asylum seekers, terrorism, taxation, unemployment, and workers entitlements, 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 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.
