Survey 2: Young Australian of the year

Qu1: Do you understand what Australian of the year is about, and more specifically what is Young Australian of the year?

Not entirely. It seems to be just who is the most popular person in the media at the time and what politically correct cause they are following. OR, they're just great sportsmen or women. How does being good a sport help Australian society??

Qu2: Do you pay attention to the media on January 25th of Australia day?

YES

Qu3: How do you find out about Young Australian of the year, if you don’t please say why

Media

Qu4: In your own opinion is young Australian of the year important? Should we acknowledge young individuals that change the Australian society for the better?

Yes, we should. But there is too much politics in who is chosen. And who are these people, anyway?

Qu5: Put in order the most recent young Australians of the year (1 being 09’s Young Australian of the year, and 4 being the older one)

No idea

Qu6: In a few words describe, what have one of the following young Australians of the year from Qu5 done to receive this award, if you don’t know any say, I don’t know.

Casey Stoner - wasn't he a good motorcycle rider and won a world championship or something?

Qu7: Do you believe that Young Australian of the year is portrayed well in the media

Strongly disagree (It's not portrayed at all, really.)

Qu8: Do you think its necessary to have these awards on Australia day

Yes. It is important for a society to recognise the efforts of those who make a significant contribution. But then again, so many people do that. Isn't that what the Honours are for - OAM, AM etc? Why pick just one person and say their work is MORE valid than anyone elses?

Qu9: Is Young Australian of the year, just another stupid event run by the federal government?

Disagree. It was an honest attempt at recognising excellence. I just think it's been wrongly used.

Qu10: In a few words whats your final opinion of Young Australian of the year, does it serve a purpose, is it socially recognised? Etc.

It is socially recognised, for sure, but it does not really serve a purpose. It can give a mouthpiece to someone for a while but then they tend to fade into obscurity. In fact, hasn't it even been discredited by the actions of a previous recipient who was later found to have broken the law for something?

Survey 2: Young Australian of the year

Qu1: Do you understand what Australian of the year is about, and more specifically what is Young Australian of the year?

not rlly i never seem to hear much about them the only one the media seems to rlly promote is the 'Australian of the year'. From my understanding its generally for someone who has contributed to their community with charity work or done something for the environment

Qu2: Do you pay attention to the media on January 25th of Australia day?

Yes OR no

Qu3: How do you find out about Young Australian of the year, if you don’t please say why

Media
Friends
Family
Public discussion

OR

Why?

Qu4: In your own opinion is young Australian of the year important? Should we acknowledge young individuals that change the Australian society for the better?

i think its good to acknowledge the individuals but i dont think its fair to say that the winner is the 'best' as there are many other young australians who do good without being publicised.


Qu5: Put in order the most recent young Australians of the year (1 being 09’s Young Australian of the year, and 4 being the older one)

Trisha Broad Bridge
Jonty Bush
Casey stoner
Tania major

i completely guessed this question anything i get is a complete fluke



Qu6: In a few words describe, what have one of the following young Australians of the year from Qu5 done to receive this award, if you don’t know any say, I don’t know.

E.g. Leyton Hewitt, 03 winner, tennis career, role model for tennis

no idea



Qu7: Do you believe that Young Australian of the year is portrayed well in the media
Agree, strongly agree, Disagree, Strongly disagree

im not too sure as the media never seems to focus on them (in my opinion)

Qu8: Do you think its necessary to have these awards on Australia day

Yes OR No, also why?

i think Australia day is a good day to celebrate the contributions of Australias people so yes i think its necessary.

Qu9: Is Young Australian of the year, just another stupid event run by the federal government?

Agree, strongly agree, disagree, and strongly disagree
Why?

its a nice sort of concept to want to acknowledge those people that have had a significant impact on the life of other Australians.

Qu10: In a few words whats your final opinion of Young Australian of the year, does it serve a purpose, is it socially recognised? Etc.

It's a nice sort of concept to recognise these people but in the end you never hear about them after Australia Day (unless your like this years Australian of the year who controversially suggested changing the date of Australia Day).




Thank you for taking the time to fill my survey, your contributions have helped me greatly, thank you. ;)

Qu1: Do you understand what Australian of the year is about, and more specifically what is Young Australian of the year?
Young Australian of the year is about searching for talent amoung the youth of Australia.
My personal understanding of 'Young Australian of the year" is someone who shows enormous potential in whatever field they are interested in and can provide a viable rolemodel for younger generations. Someone who represents a honest and bright youth, who is willing to apply themselves within society.


Qu2: Do you pay attention to the media on January 25th of Australia day?

NO

Qu3: How do you find out about Young Australian of the year, if you don’t please say why


Public discussion



Qu4: In your own opinion is young Australian of the year important? Should we acknowledge young individuals that change the Australian society for the better?

Yes we should, Youths should be encouraged to achieve set goals, this encouragement should also be expressed to not only the candidates but also to the general youthful public.

I dont know



Qu7: Do you believe that Young Australian of the year is portrayed well in the media
Agree

Qu8: Do you think its necessary to have these awards on Australia day

No, The appreciation of youth of Australia should be able to occur on any day


Qu9: Is Young Australian of the year, just another stupid event run by the federal government?

Agree, to some extent this compitition could just be a sort of distraction or glorifization of the youth of Australia.It does seem to have some sort of hidden political agenda, then again it could be genuine


Qu10: In a few words whats your final opinion of Young Australian of the year, does it serve a purpose, is it socially recognised? Etc.

Until now i have not considered the imapcts of the young australian of the year campaing too often. It does serve a purpose to encourage youth, but the global image of Australian youth is also benefited to much of the governments delight. It is socially recognised and generally seen as a positive intiative for youth.
