That's not strictly true. A majority of people in the Perth Metro area voted YES, but an overwhelming majority of people in the country areas voted NO, which was enough to swing the overall vote to NO - the overall result was 55% NO and 45% YES. The large NO vote from the country areas came about because the National Party refused to support the YES vote due to a political dispute with the Liberals over funding for the regions.
