What do regional Australians really think about renewable energy projects?
In a first-of-its-kind research report, Winds of Change: Regional Australians’ Real Views on Renewables, Porter Novelli and Quantum Market Research reveal powerful insights into how regional Australians feel about the rapid rollout of renewable energy projects.
As renewable energy becomes central to Australia’s future, regional communities find themselves at the forefront of change – often impacted directly by these new developments. This research explores whether regional communities truly support renewables and how mis- and disinformation shapes public opinion.
With years of experience supporting renewable projects in regional Australia, Porter Novelli has seen the impact of building strong community ties. Winds of Change highlights how deeper, more honest engagement can ensure that regional communities feel valued and involved in the country’s clean energy future.
Read the report to discover key insights into regional support for renewables, the impact of misinformation, and how real engagement and communication can drive a successful energy transition for all Australians.

We believe the rise of environment, social and corporate governance (ESG) frameworks has helped steer Australian organisations on a more positive trajectory.
Today, many brands prioritise ESG-based claims in marketing alongside more rational claims (product, price,etc) and despite angry comments on news sites, those brands who decided to “Go Woke” have not yet “Gone Broke” – some of them are even being investigated by regulators for making too much money…
But do marketers put too much reliance on these ESG-based claims? Do fickle, hip-pocket conscious Australians actually care, or are they buying for other reasons? Nowhere is this more close to the bone than in food and agriculture, where environment, communities and corporations meet in the supermarket aisle.

Every Australian company will be impacted by a data breach at some point. While high-profile data breaches have been reported extensively throughout the last 12 months, a lot of people wouldn’t know that there were more than 400 notifiable breaches reported to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) this year to June 2023.
Porter Novelli has developed specific expertise in cyber incident response in recent years, working with a range of clients to respond to sensitive and high-profile breaches. We have also developed our data breach specialisation following changes to the Australian Government’s Privacy Act in February 2018 as well as the introduction of the European Union’s GDPR requirements.
That’s why we have launched ‘Cyber Security Incidents: A Call to Action’, a research study by Porter Novelli and Quantum Market Research that explores the seldom-discussed impact of cyber security incidents on Australians.
Our study has found that Australians are highly sceptical about the capabilities available to protect them from hackers, and the emotional and financial toll from previous breaches is driving a feeling of helplessness among consumers.
The message for Australian companies is clear:
Prioritise customer experience in response to a data breach and effectively engage customers in a way that matches their expectations. Otherwise, you risk eroding trust with customers and damaging brand reputation.

Purpose Premium is the flagship research study by Porter Novelli and Quantum Market Research in which we explore the evolving relationship between reputation and purpose in the minds of Australian consumers.
Our latest study has found that Australians have sharpened their views on purpose and reputation, and raised their expectations of brands.
