The majority of regional Queenslanders believe the state’s economy has taken a turn for the worse in the past year, according to the latest results from Vote Compass.
The online survey asked respondents: “How do you feel the economy in your electorate is doing now as compared to 12 months ago?” Out of almost 43,000 responses state-wide, 43 per cent said it was about the same, 38 per cent said it had gotten worse while 19 per cent said it had improved.
