Australia's new citizens 'less dissatisfied' with politics

Less than half of Australia's new citizens are satisfied with our democracy, but they are less critical of politics and politicians than other groups. That's according to new research from Canberra University's Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis. They say satisfaction in Australian politics is at an all-time low, and it's likely new Australians will become more sceptical and more distrustful of Australian politics over time. But is the current election campaign making things worse?
