News.com.au launches second 'Great Aussie Debate' survey

News Corp Australia's news.com.au has launched the second iteration of 'The Great Aussie Debate', a nationwide survey designed to capture Australian perspectives on a range of topics.

The survey will invite its audience of over 12 million Australians to answer questions on finance, parenting, dating and sex, sport, and health. Some of the questions include: What salary do you need to be 'rich' in Australia in 2025? Do you answer your boss' calls/texts/emails after hours? What is Australia’s premier sporting event?

The first 'Great Aussie Debate' in 2023 received 50,000 responses to the 50-question survey in less than two weeks. Ahead of this year's 'The Great Aussie Debate', news.com.au conducted a pulse survey of 1,870 respondents. The findings revealed strong sentiment for Australia Day among Boomers (81%) and older Australians aged over 75 (84%), but less so among younger generations. The majority of Australians who believe working in the office full time is best are aged over 75 (56%) and Boomers (42%), whereas flexible work is still favoured by younger workers.

"We knew we were onto a winner when we came up with The Great Aussie Debate in 2023, but even we were surprised by how Australians responded to it – it took less than two weeks to get 50,000 responses to the 50-question survey, which blew us away," said Editor at News.com.au, Kerry Warren. "This year, we're back, to take the pulse of all Aussies as we confront an ongoing cost-of-living crisis, geopolitical unrest and another federal election."

Journalist at News.com.au, Andrew Bucklow, said: "Everyone sees Australia through a different lens, and this survey invites us to share our differing opinions. That’s what makes our nation great – we’re rich in diversity, so I’m excited to see how these different perspectives clash and converge. This will truly spark a thought-provoking conversation."
