'Democracy Sausage' meaning

One Definition

1. BobThrob

   A staple of any Australian election day, the democracy sausage is a simple, yet beautiful, tradition: a barbecued sausage, laid gently on a single piece of white bread (or a white roll if you’re fancy), optionally topped with grilled onions and either tomato or barbecue sauce. Must be consumed one-handed by folding the bread around the sausage, and eaten from one end. Found at polling places around the country, usually primary schools, sometimes in the vicinity of a cake stall.

   • Example: You: Hey mate, wanna go grab a democracy sausage after we number all the boxes on the House of Representatives ballot paper and at least 12 boxes above the line or all boxes below the line on the Senate ballot paper? Ya mate: Bloody oath I do!
