Australia has voted No in the referendum, but the vote hasn't been uniform across states and cities. A small number of electorates, mainly in inner cities, are projected to have voted Yes.
Most inner cities voted yes, but outer suburbs voted no. For Perth, I’m not surprised to see that Perth voted yes, but I’m fascinated that Curtin (traditional Liberal heartland) is also leaning Yes.
It’s actually most traditional inner-city Liberal seats, in Melbourne and Sydney in particular. It looks like the trend of inner-city vs outer suburban/regional divides are consolidating.
It also could mean that the teal independent seats becomes more permanent as the libs cement their status as a racist party among those that used to consider them.
