New research from Fox & Hedgehog, commissioned by the Institute of Public Affairs, has been published in the Herald Sun.

The polling, conducted among 1,810 Victorians, found the state is divided over the Victorian Labor Government’s proposed treaty legislation, which is currently before the Legislative Council. More Victorians oppose a treaty between the state government and Victorian Aboriginal groups than support it.

Ahead of the 2025 AFL Grand Final, a new poll of 1,000 Victorians conducted by Fox & Hedgehog, published in the Herald Sun reveals Collingwood is the state’s most divisive club.

Almost a quarter of Victorians want to see the Magpies win the premiership this year, more than any other team. But by a bigger margin, even more Victorians say they’d least like Collingwood to win.

The survey also dug into the stereotypes Victorians hold about AFL fans. Collingwood fans were most often thought to have missing teeth, rock mullets, complain about umpires, and be “bogans.” Reality says otherwise.

Fox & Hedgehog went into the field to dig up who is Australia’s most favoured supermarket. Our poll finds that despite a narrowing between Australia’s two major supermarkets, Woolworths continues to lead Coles in the contest for Australians’ next grocery shop.

Wise decisions start with curiosity and are shaped by a vision. The name comes from an old idea, a metaphor tracing back to the Ancient Greek poet Archilochus: “the fox knows many things, the hedgehog knows one big thing.”

It speaks to two fundamental ways of thinking. Foxes adapt. Hedgehogs provide vision.
