    ABC just called it as defeated, all over before WA even got to start counting…

      People always say their vote doesn’t matter, but in this case they are quite literally right.

        It’s only 5:30 here in WA. Results have been known for over an hour. Polls are still open for another half an hour.

        I get why people are voting: they have to or will get a fine. What I don’t understand is why people are still handing out ‘Vote Yes/No’ flyers. What is the point in that?

          The outcome still has potential to sway politicians I suppose. If it’s closer than they expect, some will have to tread more carefully and make some concessions, or risk losing their seat next election.

      Antony Green was calling 2 states No at 7:01pm AEDT, and that meant only 1 more No state was required.

      He called SA as No at 7:24pm. Not even close…
