Read media release: CEDA national poll: South Australians happier at work; rank energy issues as more important   

CEDA has released the South Australia results from Community pulse 2018: the economic disconnect - polling exploring Australians’ attitudes to work, education, health, community and the economy.

Energy issues including strong regulation of energy security are more important to South Australians compared to other states, while South Australians are more satisfied with their jobs.

Fifty-three per cent of SA respondents were more likely to feel like they have not gained, or don’t know if they have gained from Australia’s record run of economic growth.

On the national issues of greatest importance, South Australians were in line with the national results placing greatest importance on high quality and accessible public hospitals; strong regulation to limit foreign ownership of Australian land/assets; increased pension payments; and high quality and choice of aged care services. However,  they placed greater importance on energy security and slightly greater importance on government support for renewable energy than other states.

The top personal issues in SA aligned nationally with reliable, low cost basic health services; reliable, low cost essential services; access to stable and affordable housing; affordable, high quality chronic disease services; and reduced violence in homes and communities, rating as of high importance.
