A recent survey conducted by Raise Our Voice Australia has revealed some pretty jarring statistics about young Aussies’ relationship with politics. The organisation partnered with The Body Shop to survey 500 young women and non-binary folks across the country to get their opinion on everything from how they feel about Christian Porter’s allegations to whether they’d ever consider a future career in politics.
Some of the topline stats include the fact that 87% of young people think the media’s representation of women in politics is negative, and there’s been a 21% drop in willingness to pursue a career in politics amongst young women and non-binary people over the last year. Yikes.
