political sausage roll

Well folks you've heard the term 'political football' bandied about before but in what can best be described as a frightening coincidence, the humble sausage roll or more specifically the cost of a sausage roll has been used in parliament by the Federal Education Minister in his argument supporting the Governments introduction of legislation to ban compulsory student union fees at universities in Australia. What next Sea Monkeys in Parliament House?

On a more serious note isn't it a little ironic that supporters of the rights of individuals to do whatever they please also generally support compulsory student unionism. Some how that doesn't seem right to me...or should I say left?
