Immigration a rising concern for voters
Phillip CooreyPolitical editor
Immigration has surged as an issue of concern among voters while the government’s perceived handling of the issue is continuing to decline, a new survey shows.
The latest True Issues survey by JWS research shows immigration and border security is now a top five issue of concern for almost one quarter of voters, or 24 per cent. This is up from 15 per cent a year ago and 21 per cent in February.
