"vast remainder of the state", that's only 20% of the population. This author has no idea what they're talking about.

I think you need to re-read that. They clearly said the "vast remainder of the state", not "the remainder of the state is vast". The word "vast" is being used to describe the percentage of places that have lower support than Perth. Not the total population living in places other than Perth. It's quite obvious if you actually read the full quote, I'm not sure why you're confused.
