The regionality of the plebiscite seems to have had a big influence of our perceptions of how it would turn out.
I thought Kruddler was being wildly optimistic with some of his predictions but he was probably in one of those high '80+' Yes electorates.
My own was about the 60-40.
The Labor folk I referenced above were from the Liverpool region where strong Labor electorates voted emphatically NO
I think that's called "hotcoxing"
As I said above, there is huge potential for scholarly analysis of voting trends.
I guess the main thing I take away, apart from the terrible waste of money, is that a referendum would have been successful, and then some. It's nice to think that our country can be quite progressive ... on some issues.

It's generally considered poor form to quote yourself ;D

I was in a 65% electorate as it turns out, but my 'network' i guess was spread far and wide across multiple electorates interestingly the next electorate a just a malcolm blight torpedo away and was 53%....but Melbourne was a clear 83.7%.
