It's simple mathematics. The cost of a plebiscite could amount to around A$200 million, while the cost of a nugget is 64.25 cents at McDonalds, based off a 12 pack of the fried morsels.。

With the cost to fund a plebiscite, you could buy 311,284,046 chicken nuggets. That's enough to give each person in Australia 12.86 nuggets each. 。

By that equation, there would also be $13 million left over for BBQ sauce. But if there's the option for Sweet and Sour we'll take that, thanks.。
