The Leximancer graph of responses to whether the country is heading in the right direction shows just how "tight" times are for many in the population. The three themes identified by the software are all to do with money. They move from the more to the less abstract from left to right.

Wayne Swan's budget failed to excite respondents, and it was delivered against a background of fragile public confidence in the direction in which the country is heading.

Was the 2011 budget “...a dog's breakfast. Give some, take some, end up where you were before”?
Or “Very well-balanced between the need for fiscal rectitude and the need to address outstanding social/health issues. Also a modest windback of middle class welfare”?

For a couple of years Climate Change was one of the most dominating issues in our analysis, and respondents were either for it or against it. In this survey the issue has effectively become split in two. Those on the left continue to be concerned about it, but on the right concern is not about climate change directly, but the Carbon Tax, which is supposed to address it.

According to quantitative analysis of our virtual focus group Julia Gillard is less popular than Tony Abbott although more disapprove of both of them than approve, and they are neck and neck as preferred Prime Minister. The carbon tax is marginally unpopular, but both the flood levy and the mining tax have positive net levels of support.

The Carbon Tax is said by some to have played a big role in the New South Wales election so I thought I'd check it against our responses. And the answer is that it didn't play a significant direct role at all. Or if it did it was in electorates that I don't get many responses from in the coal mining or heavy industrial areas of New South Wales.
