    Osama bin Laden

    Q. Do you think the death of Osama bin Laden will result in less terrorism or more terrorism or will it make no difference?

    Total Vote Labor Vote Liberal/ National Vote Greens
    Result in more terrorism 37% 32% 40% 40%
    Result in less terrorism 7% 8% 7% 9%
    Make no difference 48% 51% 48% 45%
    Don’t know 8% 9% 5% 6%

    About half (48%) think that the death of Osama bin Laden will make no difference to terrorism. However, 37% think it will result in more terrorism and only 7% think it will result in less terrorism. Views are broadly similar across demographic groups.

    Greens and Liberal/National voters (40%) are a little more likely to think it will result in more terrorism than Labor voters (32%).
