CONFIDENCE in the federal government has “skyrocketed” over the last year, according to a new study from ANU.
Only 27.3 per cent of the 3500 adults surveyed had confidence in the government in January 2020, during the middle of the Black Summer bushfires. That number has since jumped to 54.3 per cent a year later.
Prof Nicholas Biddle, who co-authored the study, says the pandemic has seen a major U-turn for the federal government when it comes to how voters view them.
“In many ways, the COVID-19 crisis has been a massive shot in the arms for the government and the Prime Minister; clearly many Australians think they have handled the crisis well,” he says.

MORE than one third of deaths among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were caused by smoking, according to a new ANU study released today (January 25).
Starting in 2006, the study analysed 1388 people of all ages including those who had never smoked, as well as past and present smokers, and found that about 37 per cent of deaths were caused by smoking.
That number rises to 50 per cent for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders aged 45 years and older.
Study lead Dr Katie Thurber says the results were shocking and show smoking causes nearly double the number of deaths than previously thought.
