1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: And Aman does jam nation surprised that all the people 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: do in the postal voting at the moment. I remember 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: one time I voted early by accident. I was walking 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: past a polling vote by accident. I was walking past 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: and I said, what's going on here? And they said 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: it's a pre polling and they said, well, how do 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: you do that? I was just go in and do it. 8 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 1: And next minute and the lady said, and would you 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: have a reason for not voting on Saturday and when? 10 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: Because I'm here now and I'm in front of you, 11 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: And then she. 12 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: Thought you had a stroke and she said, fair enough, 13 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: there you go. 14 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: But I like on the day going along, seeing all 15 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: the dudes and they're putting their leaflets at you, and 16 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: you know, stirring up trouble, you know, Clyde Palmer's people, 17 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: and that's olay. And then you go to the Libs 18 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: and say, Clyde Palmer's people will say, you know you 19 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: like you like. 20 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 2: The theater of it? 21 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: I like the theater. 22 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, not everyone does, which is why there's a lot 23 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 2: of early voting. Do you want to hear the history 24 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: of the democracy sausage? Because a lot of people like 25 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: to go on the day because they like to buy 26 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: a cake and support the local school, community center, whatever. 27 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: The democracy sausage started appearing at polling booths in the 28 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: eighties because of the introduction of the portable barbecue. It's 29 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 2: as simple as that. But people have been selling bits 30 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: and pieces on election day since the nineteen thirties. There 31 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 2: are images dating back to the nineteen thirties of a 32 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: polling booth with cake stalles. So it's a community organization 33 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: thought it'd be a great way to fundraise because voting 34 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: became compulsory after World War One. Compulsory voting was introduced 35 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: in nineteen twenty four, and that meant that everyone had 36 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: to step out to vote, and they probably didn't have 37 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: that many polling booths in those days. So local schools 38 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: and community groups thought, well, how about I sell my jam. 39 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: How about we sell some cakes to raise money for 40 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: the school or the community center. So it goes back 41 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: that far. So the sausage, though, has somehow become the 42 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: culinary icon. When we grew up, it was the cakes 43 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: voting day. The sausage is now the big deal. The 44 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: sausage slapped on a piece of bread with some onion, 45 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: a squirt of tomato sauces. Okay, well my bread, Okay, 46 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: thank you, Brenda. 47 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: Iven, just come in off the boat. 48 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: But the big deal that made the big difference is 49 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: that there was a law introduced in nineteen eleven that 50 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: decreed that polling day had to be a Saturday, and 51 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: that meant that kids were off school. That meant that 52 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: the whole family turned up at the voting booth. And 53 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: that's what made the big difference of this atmosphere where 54 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: let's get the whole family down there, Mum and dad 55 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: vote and the kids will buy some food, muck around 56 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: all of that. And so some places have these and 57 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: some places don't. 58 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, my local one hasn't had it for a few 59 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: nine time. 60 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 2: And that's because they don't have a fundraising capability. That's 61 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: the difference. If you were to fundraise, that's why you're 62 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: doing it on If not, you don't. 63 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: My entrepreneur, hat what about this. I take a barbecue 64 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: down to my local school. 65 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: I don't think you, mais money for yourself. 66 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: I start cooking a regular shaped foods. Politicians can eat 67 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: them in a strange fashion. 68 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: What's going to be than they're meeting a big phallic 69 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 2: sausage nothing. 70 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: A big cranski. 71 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: But if you feel like you're going to be missing 72 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: out on the weekend, if you've done a postal vote, 73 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: or the place where you vote doesn't have a sausage 74 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: scissor or Democracy sausage, which Brendan Jones needs to hear 75 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: again is a piece of is a sausage and a 76 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: piece of. 77 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: Bread, explaining the bread. 78 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 2: What you can do though, is Uber Eats are doing this. 79 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: They are calling it snag a festo and it is 80 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: a meaty platform for delivering snags to the snagless this 81 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: election day.
