Looks like a lot of the relatively high No votes come from Labor held Sydney interestingly enough - McMahon, Parramatta, Fowler, Watson, Werriwa and, most of all, Blaxland.

fwiw the notorious Oxley seat has 60.3% Yes

The No seats in Queensland are Katter's seat of Kennedy, the other giant rural seat of Maranoa and narrowly Groom (Toowoomba and its surrounding rural areas).

I mean, a higher Yes vote in Qld than NSW is actually kind of hilarious

The true fun is this officially crowns Tasmania and West Australia as the two wokest states.

Quite heavily ethnic. Blaxland, Parametta and Watson especially has a high concentration of Muslims.

They make up about 43 percent of Lingiari division.
