We all pay tax, but this is the only comprehensive, regular survey of Australians’ attitudes to taxation and public spending. It provides information about how we’re thinking now, and how our attitudes to tax and public spending are changing and evolving. As in previous years, the findings of the survey contain surprises and insights. This year, the most striking finding is that a majority of Australians want to see more government spending on social security. %9 Survey
