An inner city Perth man has been left scrambling for answers today after approaching the voting booth and seeing that a democracy sausagewas $5 in an inner city suburb of Perth.
“Is this the sort of country I want to be a part of?”, he lamented as he handed over some shrapnel he fished from the centre console of his car.
He was consciously paying for the snack despite feeling utterly betrayed by democracy. He continued,
“I’d come all this way and really had my heart set on a sausage sizzle. In my mind it was going to be a sweet $5 snag & can combo. That’s the Aussie way. To make matters worse, the dogs were pre-made and waiting in paper bags for me. I feel violated”
After getting back into his car, he began to sob as he reflected on the blatant unAustralianism that he just experienced. He drove home with a snag shaped hole in his love of this country.
After doing his best to savour every $1 bite he turned to an online community to vent. Sadly, it didn’t do him any good as he learned about the more reasonable prices from around the city.
A friend on his FB told The Times,
“I told him I got one for $3.50 in Lathlain and I think that broke him. He went through all the stages of grief and settled on anger. I think he was just disappointed at himself for not walking away”
As the day wears one, he continues to fume over the violation of a basic Australian right. His only recourse was to drive down to Bunnings and get a better experience.
Experts have warned punters that the cost of living crisis will continue to push the price of a snag in a roll up. So there will be plenty more stories like this to come.
