What did you pay for your democracy sausage? - eviltoast

I paid $3.50, but got free onions. Interested to hear what others paid.

    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.

        No I thought the like the sausage is cheap for the person giving it out since it’s bought in bulk, subsidised and of basic quality.

          Definitely not subsidised in any way. This is roughly equivalent to a US “bake sale” where the school P&C or a sporting organisation sells them as a fundraiser. The govt has zero involvement. It’s purely citizen driven.

          Yes they’re usually fairly cheap/low quality snags though
