“We’ve collaborated with leading industry organizations and charity groups, such as P&Cs, to anticipate the number of Australia’s 7,000 polling stations that will likely host sausage sizzles,” he mentioned on Today.

According to the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House (MoAD), the term “democracy sausage” was first coined around 15 years ago.
