The Dynamics of Environmental Issues in Australia: Concerns, Clusters and Carriers
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 11:03 authored by Jan PakulskiJan Pakulski, Bruce TranterBruce Tranter, Crook, SRecent survey (AES and ISSP) data and public opinion polls show an interesting dynamic at work in public opinion on environmental issues in Australia. Environmental concerns lose urgency, detach themselves from environmental groups, their established issue-carriers, and further bifurcate into distinct 'green' and 'brown' issue clusters. These shifts in patterns of concern accompany changes in forms of public expression and in the diffusion of concerns. However, public concerns about the environment in Australia do not simply wane, but become 'routinised', that is, increasingly differentiated, independent of green groups, and linked with conventional institutional issue carriers.
