I paid $3.50, but got free onions. Interested to hear what others paid.
Voted around 8am, they was still closed. I guess 8am is perfect time for a sausage.
“even bother”…
Hmmmm as someone heavily involved in my school’s P&C, it’s hard work just getting people to help out, let alone actually organising, buying supplies and running the BBQ.
$3.50 and Voted
Yes
Freedom isn’t free.
I thought it was free. So you guys buy it after to celebrate voting, or are there just a lot of people selling sausages near polls?
Polling booths are usually in a school or some other community facility. At schools, the sausage sizzle and/or cake stalls are usually run by the school’s P&C (Parents and Citizens association) as a fundraiser.
I’m guessing you’re not from Aus. Weird to think that democracy snags are a purely Australian thing… If I didn’t eat a sausage after voting I don’t know what I’d do with myself. Our democracy might as well collapse
As an American we get a sticker and get told to go back to work after we vote. No cake, no sausage, not even a bit of time off to do it.
In my defence, I’ve read lots about Australian democracy sausage and how every polling station has one so I just thought it was a part of the volunteering process of Australian democracy.
Also, this is the first time I’m reading about prices for it, so I thought I’d have heard about it being paid before. I also thought it was a cheap sausage.
