78% yes so far. But it’s not enough.
I have a partner who looks indigenous (but she isn’t) and is scared of how this will all play out.

Well… Judging purely by the large “Vote No” posters either side of the gate into the polling station, I’m guessing solidly “No”
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.
Hey, just a little nudge, if you’re keen to chat about the Voice to Parliament, we’ve got this corker of a megathread where we can all have a good chinwag in one spot. But if you’re not up for that, no worries, it’s business as usual. Gotta keep things fair dinkum!
Mine (Lilley) looks like it’s going to be just over the line for no. It’s inner north Brisbane - not quite inner city, not quite outer suburbs. I’m so dissapointed because I really hoped that it would at least vote yes.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
These maps show those differences, revealing how disparate communities feel about this referendum question.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s own electorate of Grayndler has also voted overwhelmingly in favour of the Voice.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s seat of Dickson, in outer northern Brisbane, has voted No.
South Australia was the third state to be called with a No result, meaning a double majority was now impossible in the referendum.
Due to time zones, polls in Western Australia closed hours later than on the east coast, meaning results will take a little longer.
In Tasmania, Hobart has voted Yes but it wasn’t enough to make up for a firmer No in the rest of the state.
The original article contains 385 words, the summary contains 113 words. Saved 71%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

I’m in the ACT. I can look at most of neighbours without rage. Most. Not enough.
