Edelman Trust Barometer: Australia more polarised than ever

Australia has seen a second major drop in trust in as many years, with 45% Australians saying that the nation is more divided than before according to Edelman’s 2023 Trust Barometer report findings.

The local surge in division reflects a global trend, and is locally so pervasive that 53% of Australians think the nation’s social fabric has become too weak to serve as a foundation for unity and common purpose.
