Bunnings Snag Speech
INTRO
Australia, a land where emus won the war, where surfers punch sharks, and snakes eat crocodiles. A nation that proud of our ability to get smashed during national celebrations, of magpie swooping season, and of a spread made from breweries’ left over yeast. But overall, a nation that is proud of Bunnings snags. Cheap, sliced white bread, with a slightly charred beef sausage laid diagonally across, and onions as well as tomato sauce drizzled with love over the creation… it is a symbol of Australia’s national culture, an icon of Election Day, and a unifier of communities.

Many of you will recall setting up a barbie and slapping on some sausages for a school fundraiser. Your parents are hanging in the background while younger siblings run amuck, and your strict teacher has let her hair down, laughing with a soft drink in hand. The school grounds have suddenly come alive with friendly chatter, and you find yourself talking to people whom you didn’t know before. As you raise money for the RSPCA, you realise that none of this would be possible without the Bunnings snag, which not only helps you to support charities within the community, but brings the community together as well.
The humble snag has for decades unified communities and strengthened neighbourhoods. This is especially important in a day and age where technology has taken over, and many remain stuck inside, their faces glued to a screen, only venturing out when such an event takes place. According to journalist Lina Caneva, Editor of Pro Bono Australia, “Compared with respondents two decades earlier, the typical Australian in the 2000s has 1½ fewer neighbours of whom they could ask a small favour and 3 fewer neighbours on whom they could drop in uninvited.”
The snag provides the perfect way for the neighbours to meet each other, bond, and re-establish that easy-going mateship that has been a part of Australia’s culture for decades.
