Your Say: Tony Abbott's priorities

Updated

We asked readers what they thought should be Prime Minister-elect Tony Abbott's number one priority for his first 100 days in office.

There was a total of 4,166 responses. This bubble chart shows responses that were mentioned more than 10 times.

The green responses were chosen from the drop-down list that we provided. The brown responses were typed into the 'other' text box.

We amalgamated 'Keep the NBN', 'Keep FTTP NBN', 'FTTP NBN' and 'Keep Labor's NBN' into one bubble, as all of these responses refer to Labor's NBN policy.

We removed a number of comments calling on Mr Abbott to resign, because it is unlikely one of Mr Abbott's top priorities will be to quit.

Here's a table showing the final ranking:

Rank Priority # Respondents 1 NBN 546 2 Carbon tax 483 3 Environment 457 4 Education 456 5 Border protection 430 6 Jobs 323 7 FTTP NBN* ** 287 8 Budget deficit 285 9 Infrastructure 282 10 Health 275 11 Foreign policy 85 12 Mining tax 58 13 Paid parental leave 57 14 Marriage equality* 25 15 Single parent payments 21 16 Double dissolution 10

* These responses were typed into the 'other' text box; they were not options in the drop-down list.

** This is an amalgamation of similar answers: 'Keep the NBN', 'Keep FTTP NBN', 'FTTP NBN' and 'Keep Labor's NBN'.
