Crazy bullshit
Bunnings will charge charities and football clubs a $150 site fee to hold sausage sizzles outside its stores.
Spread on: Facebook, Australia (September 2026)
The real story
Bunnings confirmed it is not introducing any site fee for sausage sizzles. The details of the supposed fee appear to have been entirely made up. AAP FactCheck traced the post to a Facebook page it describes as a disinformation operation.
The fact-checker's verdict: “False”. Our label never goes further than theirs.
