#' The Australian Election Study is the second in the series initiated in 1987, and builds on the
#' data collected earlier in the 1967 and 1979 Australian Political Attitudes Surveys. The series
#' provides a long-term perspective on stability and change in the political attitudes and behaviour
#' of the Australian electorate, and investigates the changing social bases of Australian politics
#' as the economy and society modernise and change character. In addition to these long-term
#' perspectives it examines the political issues prevalent in the election and assesses their
#' importance for the election result.
#'
#' Two major themes are covered in the survey, the economy and the environment. Questions on the
#' economy include retrospective and prospective evaluations of the country's economy and the
#' individual's own personal household situation; wages and price controls; attitudes to particular
#' economic issues; and the position of the major parties and party leaders on the main economic
#' issues. Questions on the environment include attitudes to the protection of the environment and
#' to environmental issues in general; the role of industry and the government in ensuring
#' environmental protection; rankings of the most urgent environmental issues and the respondent's
#' assessment of their likely future importance; and attitudes toward environmental pressure and
#' interest groups, including current or likely membership.
#'
#' As in the 1987 AES, a range of questions are included in the survey which cover election issues
#' and the respondent's assessment of the most effective party to handle them, as well as questions
#' on specific political issues such as government spending and the pilots' dispute. A section on
#' social policy includes questions on around 30 contemporary social and moral issues, including
#' abortion, Aboriginal rights, pornography, health care and many others. A section on industrial
#' policy focuses on attitudes towards the control of the economy, attitudes to trade unions and big
#' business, and to industrial conflict in general. In addition to the standard questions on vote in
#' the current election, recalled vote in the 1987 federal election, and party identification, the
#' survey contains an extensive section dealing with attitudes to the major parties and to the party
#' leaders. Finally, a range of demographic data are collected for each respondent and their spouse
#' or partner, if applicable.
