Summary
Australians overwhelmingly support government aid for local businesses, with 80% favoring subsidies, rebates, and grants to prevent local options from disappearing. Theres also strong backing for giving Australian AI companies more contracts over foreign ones, driven by concerns about fairness and job retention.
