Australia has had its say on legalising same-sex marriage.

80 per cent of eligible Australians voted in the postal survey.

Of that, more than 61 per cent said YES.

But a day after the result, it's clear that not all communities feel the same.

More than 12.7 million people voted across 150 federal electorates.

133 of those seats voted YES - 17 said NO.

13 of the electorates with a majority NO vote were in Western Sydney.
