Notes: Estimates are weighted. Percentages are rounded.

When we consider some of the socio-demographic differences in responses, it is apparent that there is demographic variation in the way Australians view Anzacs (Table 4.2). While others are only very minimal variations according to respondent sex, age, education, political party identification, location, country of birth and value orientations, all discriminate attitudes towards Anzacs and national identity.
