So there you have it. Below is a tool for exploring the results at divisional level according to a range of electoral and demographic criteria. Take your pick from the drop down menu, and you will get divisional “yes” votes recorded on the vertical axis, and their results for the relevant indicator on the vertical axis. Most of these are self-explanatory, with the exception of “One Nation support index”. This equals the division’s 2016 Senate vote for One Nation divided by the party’s overall Senate vote in that state, multiplied by 100. So an electorate will score 100 if its One Nation vote is exactly equal to the state average; it will score 200 if it’s double; 50 if it’s half; and so forth. This is to prevent the party’s across-the-board high results in Queensland from spoiling the effect. “Finished school” is measured as a percent of the 15-plus population.
And what is awwesome about this is that the vote had a strong participation rate across all ages and states/territories.
Our country isn’t as stupid as Abbott et al wants. Good day for the gays.
Excellent outcome.
Well done.
Fark abbott etc – chuck them out and make them work for a living!
Less than Ireland ffs.
A great day for Australia. Now for the Parliament to finally do its job.
Did I hear correctly that only 6 out of 150 electorates voted No?
So Abbott never got his 40%. No moral victory for the NO vote. Bad luck Tone.
There were about 17 voting no I think confessions.
What we need now is Dennis SHanahan to trawl through the numbers and find a number that proves 61 percent is a loss for the Yes campaign.
I feel kinda chuffed at this result. it seems my fellow Australians aren’t as bad as I sometimes think they are.
17 voted No Confessions, 5 electorate were close (3 just Yes & 2 just No)
I thought I heard 17.
ltep:
I did wonder about that.
I would bet my house that every single electorate that voted no is conservative.
What was the return rate?
17 our of 150 is still only 11% of all electorates.
return rate was 79.5%
Well done. Now the parliament just need to rectify it.

So “advanced data analysis” of Twitter data appears to be utterly useless and Australian pollsters nail it again. #ssm
Melbourne and Sydney had the highest results for Yes – 83.7%.
Are we are going the way of the US. .. 2 islands of rational normality in a sea of intollerants ?

In many ways yes, but the NT figures seem to suggest the flaw in this as a process in accessing and including all Australians.
Hard to believe that NSW had the worst result. Thought my fellow Qld voters might have returned that.
Well, I knew that twitter analysis thing was rubbish…
@Confessions….Glad to be proven right on twitter data.,said when it came out it was bollocks. How close were the polling companies to the correct result.?
Barney:
I know the ABS always has difficulties accessing remote indigenous communities for census counts. I’m assuming that is what is occurring with this vote.
WA recorded 63.7/36.3….excellent result!!!!
So Watson and Blaxland had ‘No’ 70% or greater. Well, 69.9 in Watson.
High Muslim demographic?
Now for the desperate rearguard action from the RWNJs – including Don Farrell.
Warringah 75% yes.
11 NSW districts said no. Bennelong 50.2% no.
Unfortunately it’s the boring Jennett adjudicating.
I feel embarrassed to be a New South Welshperson today. 🙁
Abetz complaining about ‘relentless campaign’ for yes by media, political elites and celebrities.
So only 17 MPs can claim a mandate to vote NO when the legislation hits the parliament. It will be interesting to see how many of the 133 will be willing to buck the decision of their constituents.
Bugger. Not quite over the 50% of all eligible voters psychological threshold. (61.6% of 79.5 = 48.9) So close!
briefly:
Yes a great result for WA!
Given the lowest Yes vote was in NSW expect Abbott to argue that ME should not apply there.
Bennelong,
Large number of Asian Conservatives .
NSW the worst result for Yes by far. What is going on in this place?
How is it possible to get highest No vote % in NSW and highest Yes vote in Sydney ?
Chuckle. Mal suddenly going all Churchillian.
Results from the postal survey:

Turnbull is not speaking to us. He’s speaking at Abbott.
Best he’s sounded for ages!
Looking at the electorate results, the culturally diverse seats in Sydney voted no, some by big margins. Proud to say that my electorate of Newcastle had the fourth highest result in NSW, at 74%. Only Sydney, Wentworth, and Grayndler, in that order, had higher results. Earrings (lol!) had the fifth highest result at 70%.
Darn:
And no Senator has a mandate to vote No!
Seat of Moore, home to this bludger…68% Yes….No WA seats voted against SSM…really very compelling response from the West !!!!!
Note my little toy for exploring the results at the bottom of the post.
Speech by the guy who couldn’t bring himself to campaign for the ‘Yes’ vote on SSM, trying to take credit and put the boot into Labor for simply wanting parliament to do it’s job!
Looks like it was conservative migrant groups that voted ‘no’ most strongly. Which would explain why Ireland, which is far less multicultural, voted ‘yes’ more strongly than here.

Sydney’s migrant-heavy western suburbs reckons No.
Earrings = Warringah
Western Sydney seems worse than I would have thought possible – Parramatta 61.6% No – Blaxland 73.9% No?
