63% believed that when a family applies to migrate to Australia, they should not be rejected purely on the basis of their religion and 21% think it should be possible to reject purely based on religion. These figures are similar to when this question was asked in 2011.
There were no substantial differences across age and gender groups.
Liberal voters were a little more supportive of being able to reject based on religion (27%) and Greens voters were strongly opposed (84%).
