Yes I'd say that is probably the biggest issue in NT.I wonder how many post boxes there are in remote communities?
Here's my graph showing what an incredible waste of time this survey was:

YES!! Glad that YES won despite a grubby, dirty campaign from the No side.
The best thing about the votes is that in Tony Abbott's electorate of Warringah, 75% of people voted YES! Clearly Tony is out of touch and the next thing they should do is vote him out next election.

Cudos to Magda & Penny, both have been so graceful and brave facing awful rubbish
And cudos to joy fm, in Melbourne, they have been relentless in their efforts - every weekend they rallied at the state library, organised flash mobs, did everything they could to peacefully keep this issue alive.
Aren't we all relieved to know we do live in a civilised place, and we can even thank this stupid process for diagnosing the areas I already avoid.
I dearly wanted an 80%, but this is good, just glad for once that I am not in a minority
And proud of my electorate, and the area has a lot of old people and nursing homes, so it is extra nice
9. GOLDSTEIN, VIC - 76% YES

Interesting stuff coming out of these stats...from what I can see
WA = YES won in EVERY electorate, NO won nothing
TASSIE = what a difference a decade makes, 2 actually - used to be intolerable, they had to take the State to the UN, one of the last places in Oz where it was still illegal to be gay, Bob Browne is gay and had to basically say he was celibate to get elected.
Now Tassie seems to have changed more than anywhere.
I lived in both places, not sure everyone knows how gay friendly Perth can be, and how hostile tassie was

As did mine, Sydney.My electorate of Melbourne voted 83.7% yes. Nicely done.
