076 - How climate issues affect voting decisions

A great poll from Essential on how climate issues impact voting decisions:

075 - Mining industry views on why the public perceive the mining industry negatively

An interesting snapshot of what mining industry executives think the reasons are for low public support for the mining industry - via this AFR article.

074 - Renewable energy support vs coal support

This poll illustrates the broad support for renewable energy investment, compared to very low support for coal. Out of LNP voters, 57% prefer renewable investment compared to 26% coal.

073 - Clean energy target support by hypothetical price impact

Another fascinating poll from Essential - getting an idea of support for a clean energy target policy, and how that changes depending on price impact.

The original Finkel modelling found the price impact would be negative - ie, the policy would result in lower prices, which wasn't modelled by the pollsters below - a bit of a shame, to be honest.
