G-Spot Run posted:Mix of yes and no but far more yes material and posters, also south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. It's going to be a rough commentary night. It just reminds me of being a kid when John Howard won and all us kids on the train were just devastated, "how could they do this". I'll be slightly relieved if VIC says yes, one small mercy that your community is on the same side I'm was in disbelief when we voted in Howard and more so Tony Abbot + Scomo...its as if people a lot of people don't put a lot of thought into the poo poo that actually effects them on a day to day basis, Boat People? Franking Credits? I'd love Yes to get up but gently caress me the No voice feels like its been drowning out everything else unfortunately. hambeet posted:#Newspoll exit poll finds no leading 54-41 in New South Wales, 51-43 in Victoria, 65-30 in Queensland, 65-28 in Western Australia, 60-33 in South Australia and 55-38 in Tasmania. I always thought WA was alright but they hosed up with that recent Land law they reversed here right?

No camp how to vote guy was wearing an Australian flag suit jacket, and about a 50-50 split between Yes and No placards/volunteers. Absence of sausage sizzle, disappointing. In and out in 10mins tho, was good. Gave the Yes dude a thumbs up, he looked tired.

No sausage sizzles anywhere I've worked today but I did have a nice T4T solidarity moment chatting with a young trans guy when he voted so it could be worse all things considered

Based purely on anecdotal experience I am unfortunately very confident it will be a no because of how many progressive-ish people I know seem at best unenthusiastic, I reckon there will be a ton of “silent” no voters who just don’t even care to understand it and don’t see what’s being achieved. It’s not even that they are swayed by misinformation, they don’t even care to engage with it to any extent. Time poor, politically apathetic, stressed about money, housing and climate change. Confident enough of them will default to no and that’s gonna be it when you add them to all the racists/misinformed/insane/idiots/conservatives. This failed as soon as it lost bipartisan support, Dutton and others went full post truth Trump on just adding confusion and outright lies, and unfortunately that works. Edit: if I just compare this to the plebiscite and the amount of active campaigning that went on there it’s night and day in terms of viability of campaigners and passion for the cause.

I reckon it'll be closer to 45-55, with 50% of states so it'll feel like a cliffhanger. e: Linda Burney already made a concession post

Sausage sizzle at my polling place in Moreton electorate. I had a dude vote before me and he was wearing brown slacks, RM Williams, a boring rear end button up white collared shirt with vertical stripes and an Akurbra hat. He brought his toddler daughter along and she was wearing a Yes vote t-shirt. Completely unsurprising.

man these results are something. i'm sure antony's doing the math on this, but it looks like almost all the undecideds (as of the last polls) went No, and some Yes voters switched too. like tasmania was allegedly 55/45 to yes as of a week ago, according to a couple of polls.

That was even quicker than I expected. At least voting was easy: I crossed the oval to the school and joined the queue while avoiding the people handing out stuff at the front. Not a sausage or cake to be found.
