Can large corporations please stop supporting divisive social causes? Leaving the "divisive" question aside for the time being, isn't the (ahem) bottom line that they do this because there is money in it? No. Quite the opposite. If it was about the money they would keep schtum and invest in cat and dog homes It is because Big Business across the supposedly free world has been very heavily infiltrated by foot soldiers of the Great March through the Institutions, who are perfectly happy to tank their company share price to show their personal solidarity with whatever trendy social opinion carries sway this week. I would raise a Bud Light to toast this latest bukkake visited upon them, but nobody stocks it anymore. Now, will anyone in the corporate communications department get walked to the door by a security guard on minimum wage, having been asked for their phone and lanyard? No, so the victory is not complete.

While Albanese's own constituency voted the most of all Labor-seats for Yes, one cannot really recommend him to begin another cultureWar (a la abolishing the monArchy):

Interesting thread showing that Indian-Australians were much better for ‘Yes’ than other minorities:

The Bennelong result has to be the strangest of all (and it was arguably the strangest result in the 2017 SSM survey).
The division voted against Same-Sex marriage by 0.3% but only voted against the Voice by 4.2%.

Interesting thread showing that Indian-Australians were much better for ‘Yes’ than other minorities: Indians who have citizenship are more likely to be professionals and would reflect the voting patterns of that class. Working class/business class Indian migration to Australia is only just picking up. Makes Australia more similar to the US (especially California and Texas) as compared to the UK.

I thought that TX Indians are more like moderate Democrats and the California ones are more hard-left.

The division voted against Same-Sex marriage by 0.3% but only voted against the Voice by 4.2%. The most striking pattern of the 2017 gay marriage survey was the strong opposition among non-Western migrants. This included Chinese immigrants, who might have been thought to be less ‘religiously conservative’ and didn't fit the ‘working class suburbs’ profile of other immigrants. In the Voice referendum, it looks like Chinese migrants (and east/South Asians more generally) were relatively decent for Yes, especially in the middle suburbs where the white population looked noticeably more No voting.

Fowler is even more heavily Chinese/Vietnamese and it voted NO by 21%, so I’m not sure it is necessary related to ancestry, unless Chinese were more divided by class on Aboriginal issues than they are on Same Sex Marriage or that Vietnamese-Australian were significantly more opposed to the Voice than Chinese-Australians. Edit: The difference between Fowler and Bennelong in the SSM survey was 27% and at the moment the difference between them in the Voice referendum is 16.5%.

Can be put down to Whites opposing this one a lot more strongly I think.

That part of the electorate is mostly low 50s No, it’s the much less Asian western part which breaches 70%.
