The American mind cannot comprehend 🇦🇺

For all the shit I give Aussie politics, I love the spirit of our election day. You need nothing but your name and loose change for your democracy sausage.

Budgie smugglers jokes aside; Democracy sausages refer to the sausage that you buy at the polling venue. It’s usually a couple of ‘gold coins’ ($4 theses days) for a sausage on some white bread and bbq or tomato sauce. If your fancy there maybe some onion. The money goes back to some cause in the local community.

It’s a great Australian tradition and if your polling venue doesn’t do it you’re entitled to stand in line complaining about it the whole time.  There is a crowd sourced map every election for the polling venues that have them
