48% think that unions have been good for Australian working people, 17% think they have been bad, and 28% think they have been neither good nor bad.
72% of Labor voters and 70% of Greens voters think they have been good and Liberal/National voters are split 31% good/31% bad.
There was no difference between the views of workers and non-workers and very little difference be age, gender or income.
