I paid $3.50, but got free onions. Interested to hear what others paid.
For a foreigner browsing ‘All’ : what’s a ‘democracy sausage’?
Edit: by the power of Internet search engines https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_sausage
The drongo in the first pic doesn’t even have onions! After the no vote winning, I’m not sure I can also handle that picture being on the The wiki page!
Onions do make Democracy Sausages taste better, but some people don’t like onions and some people can’t have onions.
The whole point of Democracy is that we get to choose!
Unless you want a Vegan sausage…
I refuse to believe that that’s a real thing. It’s just aussies being aussies and messing with the rest of the world again. It’s that dropbear shit all over again
How dare you, the dropbear is a deadly predator and this sort of misinformation costs dozens of tourists their lives every year!
The democracy sausage underpins our nation, without it we’d have fallen to the commies.
Hail the democracy sausage 🔥
Thank you, I immediately went from “the fuck?” to “ugh, 'muricans”, then I saw the magazine and got actually interested.
I don’t quite understand, I couldn’t see a magazine.
Just to be sure, it is an Aussie thing…
Magazine is just kbin term for community.
Ah, that makes so much more sense… I went looking for a pic of a mag on the wiki link… nothing!
I was so confused, sorry for doubting you dear kbinner
to “ugh, 'muricans”
We are increasingly America-lite, after all…
As I was witheringly told by an American lecturer a decade ago when I bitched about Oz becoming the 51st state.
“Don’t get too big for your boots son. The 51st state is Canada and if you’re lucky you might squeak in at 60 after we’ve sorted Puerto Rico, Guam Mexico and whichever Middle Eastern countries seem like a good idea”
$3.50 and Voted
Yes
A referendum without democracy sausages is a referendum not worth having.
Mine was $3, but they had a sign up saying if you’re doing it tough they’ll reduce to $2. It of course included onion if desired.
Drinks were $2.
I was happy to have it at all. I emailed my OIC a day or two before and he said that our polling place probably wouldn’t have a sausage sizzle. I was very pleasantly surprised to see them setting up in the morning not long after we got there.
My local Polling station were preparing for a School Fetê, so they weren’t offering a Democracy Sausage.
Curly potatoes, Hot Jam Donuts, Mr Whippy and Burnt Espresso are not valid alternatives to a Democracy Sausage, so I missed out.
I went to Bunnings yesterday arvo and they had run out of Sausages.
Looking at the Election results though, it appears that only about 50% of my neighbours identify with Racists, Nazis and Late-Stage Capitalists, so I guess that that is a good thing!?
I’m reading this from the UK. We need the democracy sausage.
$2.50. Gluten free bread was 50c extra but I think they forgot to charge us for that.
$3.50 with onions but sadly the bread was a bit stale.
$3 at the local public school nearby here.
$3 for a sausage (my first ever democracy sausage today!)
Also $3 for a donut. It was legit amazing actually
People are sleeping on the baked goods.
They were $3.50 but you could get a drink as well for $5 which was OK

“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.
It’s kinda crazy how entitled people are about the “democracy sausage” now. Not just complaining about whether or not it exists at their polling booth, but also complaining about pricing as if this is some takeaway restaurant and not a local fundraiser.
NZer chiming in here. I have so many questions.
Is $3.50 a good price? That seems very expensive to me, I’d expect $2NZD, and occasionally $2.50NZD but that’s an expensive one.
You mentioned getting free onions. Does this mean that onions are not always included? For my $2 I for sure expect onions are included if I want them. Do you have to pay extra for sauce as well?
How do we get sausages at our polling booths in NZ?
Is the referendum literally just to ask whether the constitution should recognise the First Peoples of Australia? Is there a good reason why the tally so far shows every state is voting no?
$2.50 used to be pretty standard a few years ago, i think ive seen $3.50 last election too. Onions are always included in a sausage sandwhich, but you can can choose to not have them (same price). They always ask. Sauce is usually free, itll be a table with tomato, BBQ and maybe mustard if its a fancy place you just squeeze on yourself
Thank you for answering the important questions!

It was actually about whether the constitution should be changed to say there shall be a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, and that this body “may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples”. Purely symbolic recognition would have had a much better chance of getting in IMO.

Racism
The referendum was on whether to create and enshrine an advisory body with the power to make indigenous-focused representations to parliament.
I suspect the referendum would have succeeded if it were purely to recognise Australia’s aboriginal people as being the first peoples of Australia.

Yeh. Most of Australian do not want to enshrine racism in constitution.
“enshrine” 🙄
Spoken like a racist.
Freedom isn’t free.
