My girlfriend (who is not an Australian citizen and has never had to vote here) thought exactly the same thing. She was asking me if I could get free lemon slices again after I voted today.
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.
Sweet baby Jesus…
