Australian democracy smells like barbecued sausage

The Australian decision might be a genuine cliffhanger yet voters on Saturday were joined in their quest for their majority rule right to a hotdog sandwich.

The customary frankfurter flame broil is as large a fascination as the surveying corner in Australia, where voting is obligatory for the nation's 15.6 million enlisted residents.

With the surveys occurring on a weekend, neighborhood foundations and schools take advantage by keeping an eye on the hot plates to serve up a straightforward hotdog in a cut of white bread or bun - plus or minus tomato sauce.

"Australian majority rules system is not finished without the fragrances of a wiener sizzle," Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said as he make his choice in his Sydney electorate.

So effective is the draw of the modest wiener, privately known as an obstacle, a site is given exclusively to following the area of surveying stations around the nation with supposed frankfurter sizzles.

Snagvotes, which enrolled a record number of nourishment slows down for the 2016 decision, incorporates postings for frankfurter sizzles at political missions in the Netherlands, India and Singapore.

"My better half was disappointed to the point that there was no frankfurter sizzle at the surveying station he went to that he needed to go to Bunnings," said Rebekah Smyth at a surveying corner in Melbourne, a reference to a tool shop chain known for its weekend philanthropy grills.

The hashtag #DemocracySausage was the top inclining subject on twitter in Australia and restriction pioneer Bill Shorten brought about shock on online networking by setting out to eat his sandwich sideways.

For some foundations, the race day grill speaks to their most gainful gathering pledges day of the year.

"With the amazingly long Senate voting structure, individuals need to remunerate themselves for overcoming it with a wiener," said Snagvotes maker Grant Castner.
