MODERATORS
ABC just called it as defeated, all over before WA even got to start counting...
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....
I think they called the election wrong pretty early as well, it's probably just automated, but I don't have high hopes
Needs both majority of states and population, so if its defeated in the east, it's too late.
