ANALYSIS: It seems there's only one type of voter who prefers Morrison over Turnbull
This is an unusually high degree of consensus among a population which can agree — it seems — on little else.
And in 2016, 81 per cent thought replacing Tony Abbott with Malcolm Turnbull was the right thing to do.All participants in Vote Compass — while anonymous — are asked their gender, age, education level, language, region and past voting patterns, and the results are weighted to account for these factors to ensure that the results are properly representative of Australia's actual population.
Labor voters almost universally opposed the leadership change; 96 per cent of Labor respondents said it was the wrong decision, as did 97 per cent of Greens voters. A substantial 38 per cent said that they were just as likely to vote Coalition notwithstanding the change. In a historically-unusual development, Peter Dutton — who initiated last year's leadership challenge — is a major campaign figure in Victoria.
