N2 - When they are surveyed, Australians appear to be supportive of aid work. A poll from 2009 [pdf] found, for example, that 86 per cent were in favour of the Australian government giving foreign aid. Yet beyond the presence of nominal, high-level support, little is known about the nature of their support for aid, or the types of Australian most favourable to giving. Are aids supporters predominantly wealthy? Or religious? Or educated? Or young? And is support coupled with particular political or ideological beliefs? Even less is known about the depth of the Australian publics commitments to aid giving the extent to which people are actually willing to support aid work when it comes at a cost.
