50% believe Australia made the wrong decision to go to war in Iraq and 25% think it was the right decision. These results are not significantly different from those when this question was asked in April last year.

Those most likely to say it was the wrong decision were Greens voters (69%), Labor voters (57%) and people aged 55+ (60%).

39% of Liberal/National voters and 29% of men thought it was the right decision.
