The 2 Victorian "No" electorates from what I can gather were the ones surrounding the airport, and Waverley Park. Country electorates all seem to be Yes. Interesting.

Same, only because my partners concept of a “practical & simple” wedding would probably ending costing the equivalent of a smal bedsit in Toorak.
Seriously, it just took me an hour to buy a loaf of bread at the supermarket due to being stopped and congratulated by countless locals. Has certainly restored my faith in the decency of the people in this corner of the world.
