    An opinion poll coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the Federal Government's industrial relations (IR) changes shows widespread opposition to its WorkChoices laws.

    The AC Nielsen poll found 59 per cent of Australians oppose the changes, while 24 per cent support them.

    More than 70 per cent of the people polled say the IR changes have made no difference to their life.

    The newly re-elected New South Wales Government has partly attributed its win on the weekend to a backlash against the laws.

    However, Prime Minister John Howard has dismissed the claim and says he will not change the laws.
