DESCRIPTION:The Australian Survey of Social Attitudes (AuSSA)\, Australia's
  component of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP)\, is an imp
 ortant annual survey of Australian citizens enrolled on the Australian ele
 ctoral roll. Covering a wide range of social\, political\, and economic to
 pics\, the AuSSA provides valuable data for researchers studying Australia
 n public opinion and social issues. However\, like many surveys that rely 
 on voluntary participation\, the AuSSA exhibits a persistent left-of-centr
 e bias—an overrepresentation of respondents who vote for or identify wit
 h parties on the political left. This bias persists even after applying st
 andard post-stratification weights based on official population benchmarks
  from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.\n\nWhile multivariate models ca
 n often account for such bias by including relevant covariates\, this opti
 on is not available for simple descriptive estimates such as means or prop
 ortions\, which are typically adjusted only using standard demographic wei
 ghts. Given that descriptive estimates are important outputs from survey d
 ata\, this limitation has practical consequences for the accuracy and cred
 ibility of their estimates.\n\nThis paper compares three approaches to adj
 usting AuSSA’s survey weights for partisan bias. Each approach retains t
 he standard post-stratification by sex\, age\, and education\, and adds a 
 raking step to one political benchmark: the 2023 Voice referendum\, first-
 preference votes at the last federal election\, or current voting preferen
 ces based on the average of national opinion polls. The paper discusses th
 e advantages and disadvantages of each approach and evaluates the extent t
 o which the adjusted weights improve the representativeness of key survey 
 estimates.
