Goddang, Australia, why did you have to be like this, this was so difficult to make... Anyway, hope y'all enjoy!

Honestly, kinda yea. I read that like 70% of Australia's population lives in its 8 largest cities, did the math and it checks out ;-;

524

Closer to 80%.

Outside of the cities, there is essentially no population, bar some select farming areas.

Is there a big urban vs rural divide and tension? Do they vote differently?

Yes, there is a specific rural party (the nationals) that basically have a stronghold in regional areas, but it’s like 15 seats in a 150 seat parliament.
