IPA Poll: Keep politics out of sport

Share this edition:

This poll of 1,007 Australians in a nationally representative sample with a margin of error of 3.1 per cent was commissioned by the Institute of Public Affairs. Data for this poll was collected by independent marketing research firm, Dynata, on 13-14 September 2025.

QUESTION 1:
Sporting codes like the AFL, NRL, cricket, and netball have become too politically correct

QUESTION 2:
It is wrong that professional athletes are using their positions to campaign for their own personal political causes

QUESTION 3:
Welcome to country ceremonies should no longer be performed at sporting matches in Australia

QUESTION 4:
Australian national sporting players who refuse to sing the Australian national anthem should not play in our national sporting team
