Stimulus Spending

Q. If there is another Global Financial Crisis, do you think the Australian Government should undertake the same sort of stimulus spending they did in response to the 2009 GFC?

	Total	Vote Labor	Vote Lib/Nat	Vote Greens
Yes	36%	48%	26%	56%
No	39%	24%	56%	23%
Don’t know	25%	28%	18%	21%

In the event of another GFC, 36% support stimulus spending and 39% oppose. About half of Labor and Greens voters support stimulus spending but over half of Liberal/National voters oppose.

Lower income earners are more likely to support stimulus spending – those earning under $1,000pw split 43% support/32% oppose while those earning over $1,000pw split 34% support/42% oppose.
