I thought 45% of your country lived in Sidney or Melbourne?
They are camped right outside the gates - when I say 'city' I mean the urban core. The bogan wasteland begins in the outer suburbs, it is only inner-city Melbourne and Sydney, and to a lesser degree small pockets of resistance in the other big cities, that are holding the bogan hordes at bay.
And there is a cesspit of humanity known as Queensland (indeed fitting that it voted for Liz) that has a lot more small bogan cities and this is the place that always ensures Australia is retarded. Less than half of its population lives in Brisbane, whereas all the other states' populations are dominated by the capitals.
The pro-Queen vote won 55%. Only in Victoria, the best and most educated state, was it at 50/50 but even then the Queen edged it. Only 37% of people in Queensland voted for it.
The exception to this is that Canberra went 63% in favour of independence. But you would expect educated public servants to be actual patriots. Unfortunately a lot of the country is comprised of essentially treasonous cunts who mistake their general stupidity and hatred of immigrants for 'patriotism'.
