I was shocked by this, but my guess is that since it’s such an old demographic, they enjoyed the concept of historical fiction about a woman frustrated with the patriarchy. All the callers who called in to say they voted for it said they lived through that time and so resonated with it. Still surprised it was so high but I think it’s more an age thing than an Australian thing.
