The mobile booth results from remote Indigenous communities in the NT is also really interesting. The yes vote aligns with the inner city seats, which is not something you'd usually expect to see.
I think the interesting bit about that is not the inner city polling, which leaned Yes (relatively speaking) everywhere, but the fact that the Yes campaign seemingly struggled to appeal to remote Indigenous communities (again, relatively speaking) despite putting a lot of effort into reaching those people. Conversely, the No campaign was mostly run online and through the media - they had only a fraction of the volunteer and on-the-ground support - yet they performed above expectations in those areas.
Didn't most of the remote Indigenous vote yes? It seems like it was more likely the adjacent non Indigenous communities that voted the other way.
Yes, which was a given. I don't think those areas performed as well as the Yes23 campaign predicted, however.
Yeah that's definitely true too. Though those surveys were done way back when the national support was much higher.
