Politicians not providing bread or circuses.

A new ANU study shows most Australians believe the future will be bad for them.

71.0% believe life will be worse next year.
50.3% believe life will be worse by 2075.
51.8% believe life was better in 1975
60+ % have no confidence in state or federal government.

People believing in a worse future were worried about housing, rising prices, and Australia’s environmental policy.

Older, well off Australians were happy with the status quo.
