The following are the questions asked in the weekend’s Canberra Times Datacol opinion poll. They are followed with the percentages for each option and the undecided/uncommitted/don’t know last.
Thinking about Kate Carnell the Chief Minister of the ACT do you approve or disapprove of her performance? (33, 56, 11)
And John Stanhope the Leader of the Opposition do you approve or disapprove of his performance? (32, 31, 37)
Who would you prefer as Chief Minister of the ACT, Kate Carnell or John Stanhope? (39, 42, 19)
In the ACT Legislative Assembly next Wednesday there will be a debate on a motion of no confidence in Kate Carnell over the way she has handled the finances of the Bruce Stadium redevelopment. In your opinion should the Assembly make Kate Carnell resign as Chief Minister over this issue; or is there no reason to make her resign over this issue? (60, 30, 9)
Next I would like you to think about the performance of Gary Humphries who is the Deputy Chief Minister of the ACT
would you say that you approve or disapprove of his performance? (41, 31, 28)
If Kate Carnell was to resign as Chief Minister, who would you prefer as Chief Minister of the ACT, Gary Humphries or John Stanhope? (39, 41, 20)
Overall, do you think that the actual redevelopment of Bruce Stadium has been a good thing or a bad thing
for the people of the ACT? (58, 35, 7)
At this stage, the next election for the ACT Legislative Assembly is scheduled for October next year. It has been suggested that one way of dealing with the questions about the way the Carnell Government has handled the Bruce Stadium redevelopment would be to have an election this year. How do you feel about having an election this year to solve the matter: In favour; Neutral; Against? (48, 17, 35)
