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.

$3.50 aussie is about $2 US so it is a pretty cheap sausage sandwich

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] thanksforallthefish 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

I get that you buy them; I'm just explaining why i thought they were free
