Democracy Sausage

A real-time crowd-sourced map of sausage and cake availability at Australian elections. It's practically part of the Australian Constitution. Or something. #demsausage

Affluent areas always have good bake sales, especially vegan goodies.

At my local iga yesterday evening. Guy in his 60s strutting around wearing an official vote no tee shirt. I guess a potato seedling at the pre poll booth. Lady next to me, about my age so well past the best before date, says to me really? I just said cock wombles be everywhere.

My reward for the day (sure it's no fillet mignon sanga, but it will do)

There was coffee and Italian sweets/baked goods at our local community centre.

Had to laugh at all the oxyMORON No seed potatos (to borrow the term from @Dales Cannon) standing at the "community" centre peddling their views.

There's been a distinct lack of spudlets in Canberra.

Heard a radio grab of a no voter "I voted no, sorry". Kind of says it all.

I should do that next referection! (comm centre, for better food)

Thankfully zero potatohead backers at mine, but half a dozen cheery Yes'rs

I suspect the school parents have inside knowledge, and go round snaffling all the goodies as soon as gates open .. like the 6am garage sale shoppers who knock on your door...

So they actually now give the parents a time to bring their baked goods so will eeb and flow throughout the day. Maximising profit for the school.

Early results show an easy and strong win for the No.

As if we needed reminding that Australia is a backwards rwdneck bunch of chunts…

Another win for the LNP/IPA division machine.

Dutton is certainly still taking notes from Trump and co.

Are we looking at the same results? 11% counted is not very much ..

Thank you for reminding me how classy the no campaign has been.

I’ll be very pleased to see that turn around.

I was never part of the no campaign. I just expressed my own views and was open to discussions. Most just shit talking to be honest.
I always advocated that there is no wrong answers, apart from not voting, and we should just respect the outcome. Time to move forward with what ever we get.

ABC have already called it.

Not surprised, just disappointed.

Sad day for first nations and AU as a whole.

He’s a boofhead that just had his Trump style politics vindicated and emboldened. It’s going to get a lot uglier in Australia.
