A Roy Morgan poll on most important general issues facing New Zealand compared to the world shows that economic issues, inequality and housing are of most concern.
And the most important specific New Zealand issues compared to the world.
It’s not surprising to see economic issues so high, including inequality, and in New Zealand housing is also of major concern.
Interesting to see that New Zealand is significantly less concerned about environmental issues.
Perhaps this is why the Greens are so keen on advocating on social issues.

Respondents were asked: “What do you think is the most important problem facing the World today?” and then “What do you think is the most important problem facing New Zealand today?”

Dunno how much credibility I’d give a 999 sample Kiwi audience’s assessment of the most important issues facing the rest of the world.
New Zealand’s most important issues looks about right. Surprised to see health is less of a concern than Labour politicians suggest & crime doesn’t even feature.

/ 24th March 2018Good to see that ‘Poverty/Inequality’ makes up 20.5% of the 34% ‘Economic Issues’ … since its really an issue of ethics or ‘morality’. This means it’s Maslow level 5 not level 1 …
Possibly not since Adolf Hitler would an individual person’s name have rated on a survey like this!
“Donald Trump” FFS!
