This is a good point – schools and local organisations rely on the democracy day fundraisers, and the early voting would be having an impact on bottom lines. (Public schools wouldn’t need to fundraise if they were funded properly, but hey – those private school castles aren’t going to pay for themselves.

As someone who helped run/ worked on democracy sausage sizzles for many years, I'd just like to say that even if you've already pre polled, PLEASE drop by your local public school tomorrow and treat yourself to something from the BBQ or cake stall. Your money goes to a good cause.
