11:30 though I do wonder whether a non-government figure doing a media event every day around the same time is really newsworthy. #auspol #

10:43 The new darling of the Right? #auspol RT @lyndalcurtis: HR Nicholls Society conference dinner speech will be delivered by Kathy Jackson. #

20:29 @AustralianStory ah yes I see now #
20:16 Jack Brabham and Campbell Newman... a great Australian and, ergh... #
20:06 I find it amazing that @AustralianStory has never featured Jack Brabham until now #
19:36 Hey @abc730 we really really don't need backing music for every story. That's so Today Tonight. #
19:29 @LeagueUnlimited which makes it awfully tempting to use the acronym CSP :) #
19:24 Pedantry alert: tonight's #nrlpensti game is being played either at "Centrebet Stadium" or "in Penrith", not "at Centrebet". #
11:04 "Coming up at 11: Tony Abbott Says, followed by Peter Reith's Right of Reply, then Constitutional Law for Beginners with George Brandis" #
11:01 Never mind bias, Team Abbott is running rings around the government in terms of media manipulation. #auspol #
11:00 Why does @TonyAbbottMHR always give TV-friendly press conferences at 11am? Shouldn't @ABCNews24 just write this into their program listing? #
10:58 Oh the Courier Mail's latest poll asks "Has Julia Gillard been a good PM for Queensland?" 94.08% no #
10:55 (changes bookmark for the Daily Telegraph to point straight to the #NRL section) #
10:54 Looks like I'm one of only 22.43% of Daily Telegraph online poll voters who believe in climate change. #
10:46 #auspol RT @awelder: Blogpost: Dobell and the failure of Coalition strategy http://t.co/SNII5axt #

07:58 I love @RandomTEDTalks and I love its avatar even more #
07:52 That moment when you struggle to remember if you log in to a website via Twitter or via Facebook. #
07:08 Reading the English Premier League news. And chuckling. #

19:29 @Wallywalta regardless, Ticehurst would need to prove that he would definitely have won the election. That's a big and arrogant call #auspol #
19:04 @Wallywalta if Thomson hadn't been preselected another Labor person would be. How can Ticehurst sue for losing a legit election? Stunt. #
19:00 I'm looking forward to the day when a mega sporting event lapses because no suitable applicants want to host it. It will happen. #euro2020 #
18:51 With Turkey the only bidder for Euro 2020, here's video of last night's riot at the Fenerbahce-Galatasaray game. - http://t.co/Xy7TlMyo #
18:14 Time to break out some Booker T and the MGs in memory of Donald "Duck" Dunn who died today. RT @Noise11Tweets: http://t.co/tiHVXADI #
18:10 Hmm nice of ch9 news to name the NSW interchange bench for Ricky Stuart. #soo #9newsat6 #
18:09 What next, candidates suing voters because they didn't vote for him? #auspol #dobell #ticehurst #
18:08 The ex Liberal MP for Dobell wants to sue Labor for loss of earnings? The suspension of logic required is making my brain explode. #auspol #
18:00 And I break out of my ch9-induced embargo to say that I wouldnt have picked the Sharkies to end the Storm's run but there you are #nrlcromel #
17:21 Will that NSW 17 beat Queensland? Doubt it. #soo #nrl #
15:18 USA v Tonga rugby league under way in Honolulu. #Ohanacup is your hashtag to follow the scores. Go Tonga! #

19:30 presenting my brand new Pinterest board of Not Cup Cakes http://t.co/QkqZDaca #
16:43 So to recap the afternoon: the Gold Coast Suns have scored 67 points, the Newtown Jets 64. #aflgiantssuns #vbnswcup #
16:16 And in our continuing series on Gold Coast sporting teams in trouble, the Suns lose to the GWS Giants. #
16:11 @Elliott1950 might be another seat for Clive Palmer to chase #
16:08 See, I don't go to Henson Park and the Jets go beserk! Great call @triplehfooty. #vbnswcup #
14:35 Worth watching to see @laurieoakes in action. The @thetodayshow i'v with @DobellThommo Pt1 http://t.co/Pc5GBbOP pt2 http://t.co/K1sIo0j9 #
14:32 Could Mal Brough miss out on pre-selection for Peter Slipper's seat because of a police investigation? http://t.co/wlNgZTrn #auspol #qldpol #
13:18 Still early days, but I think Pinstagram is off to a great start. Here's a report from Wired - http://t.co/AbcCHN3n #
13:07 It's taken a third party to do what Instagram has refused to do themselves, ie, build a decent web interface - http://t.co/2B1mpNj8 #
12:48 Kapow. RT @Cubs: Watch David DeJesus crush this grand slam in the 7th: http://t.co/XOz54BMc #
12:00 Land and Environment Court orders trees be cut down to preserve resident's harbour view - http://t.co/eAD2oO3k #
11:09 @evilpandas still there. Go back 16 hours #
11:03 @Swearycat @leethel there's a few other tweets on Mr Afloat's twitter feed that make me think he was speaking to his target audience #
10:59 @evilpandas take a look at @kkeneally's feed over the last hour or so #
10:37 Every day's social media lesson: Don't send abusive tweets. Simple, eh? #
10:36 Today's #socialmedia lesson: Make sure you're not logged into your business account when you send abusive tweets. @cappuccinoafloa #
09:27 #ff @1812DayByDay. Tweeting the War of 1812 but has just covered the assassination of British PM Spencer Perceval precisely 200 yrs ago. #
08:08 Off all the Today Show people to be interviewed by, why did Craig Thomson agree to Laurie Oakes instead of, say, Richard Wilkins? #auspol #
08:00 Dear oh dear oh dear. Did I hear you say Dobell by-election? #auspol #
07:47 Why on earth did Craig Thomson agree to this interview? @thetodayshow #auspol #
07:03 #followfriday Saturday #

21:45 All right. Who unfollowed me to bring my total back to 999? You know who you are... #
19:55 I just accidentally watched a Jaimee Rodgers TAB Sportsbet ad and the odds quoted were timestamped Wednesday morning?? #
16:57 Congratulations and #ff to @Mobile_Pix, 2 days on the Twitter, 21 tweets and my 1000th follower! Your prize is this tweet :) #
15:36 Oh. RT @BBC_Reith: The 2012 Reith Lectures presented by economic historian Niall Ferguson will broadcast on @BBCRadio4 in June/July. #
15:31 Though I've never really tried hard, I've just reached 1000 followers for the first time. Thank you one and all! #
15:15 Rugby league will only survive if the game is allowed to flourish beyond the confines of the 16 #NRL clubs. Separate #vbnswcup essential. #
15:12 Can't agree with @robbiefarah. Standalone #VBNSWCup does great job now as reserve grade and is vital for the expansion of the game. #
12:21 Yep. RT @ABCthedrum: My criticism of Chris Uhlmann is not that of bias, but of competence, says Paul Keating http://t.co/Br0XSo2H #
09:32 Never mind bikie wars. Is Sydney ready for the North Shore - Inner West border dispute? #

21:50 The legacy of the 2004 Athens Olympics? A lot of white elephants and a lot of debt. http://t.co/ddJ1FRQS via @guardian_sport #London2012 #
21:21 So we can expect the Tony Abbott - Sarah Palin plagiarism scandal to be front page of The Australian tomorrow, yes? #auspol #
19:59 Some very good oratory from Abbott tonight, but the content is utter bollocks. #auspol #budgetreply #theyjustare #
19:57 Wow it took him 26 minutes to get to Slipper and Thomson. Both vital elements of the 2012-13 appropriation bills. #auspol #budgetreply #
19:55 Relevance, Mr Abbott. Focus on the 2012-13 budget please... #auspol #budgetreply #
19:53 Schoolkids learning foreign languages in the 1960s? What, French and Latin? #auspol #budgetreply #
19:52 And how exactly does this speech address the 2012-13 appropriation bills, Mr Abbott? #auspol #budgetreply #
19:50 This is more like a Rant of Reply now. #auspol #budgetreply #theyjustare #
19:46 Excuse me Mr Abbott while I log into the M5 to teleconference with my specialist. #auspol #budgetreply #
19:41 The opposition were against the company tax cuts, correct? #auspol #budgetreply #
19:37 Tony Abbott makes things up. Yet again. #auspol #budgetreply #theyjustare #

20:16 Prime Minister Costello in 2013? Don't dismiss it completely. #auspol #theyjustare #
20:04 Some discussions are best done in a proper chat room @abc730 not the open internets. Good luck. #
20:01 Oh seriously @abc730 you think you're going to be able to run a manageable discussion on Twitter with *that* hashtag? ROFL #
19:57 Hey why not just give Costello the leadership Campbell Newman style? #auspol #abc730 #
19:38 I missed the opening minutes of #abc730... the retired ex-Treasurer is thinking about what??? #auspol #
19:36 Mr Uhlmann, let the Prime Minister finish her sentences please. #abc730 #
19:32 These tabloidy graphical backdrops on #abc730 are very unlike the old 7.30 Report and totally unnecessary. #
18:25 We are us. They just are. #auspol #laborelectionslogan #
18:22 The Liberals. They just are. #auspol #electionslogan #
18:14 Yes. RT @Colvinius: Worth looking at @GeorgeMichael's twitterfeed for an interesting perspective on #Leveson #
18:12 They just are. RT @farrm51: Class warfare over school expenses. JGillard takes on North Shore, TAbbott lost for words. http://t.co/oqhfA1Kh #
17:56 Did I ever say how much I hate seeing good photography ruined by Instagram filters? #
17:47 Facts and figures on carbon "taxes" worldwide that you won't find in any "Tony Abbott Says" report. RT @newmatilda: http://t.co/5M743Ic6 #
17:25 Do it. RT @Queen_UK: Might replace the traditional "My Lords and members of the House of Commons" with "OK, listen up morons" #queensspeech #
16:26 Stop the North Shore #Carbonaratax! #
15:18 #qldpol #goldcoast2018 #cwg RT @gc2018: New Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Board announced: http://t.co/zdxc9Roa #
14:04 I suppose if I took more interest in showbiz news I could call out more examples of journalism-by-IMDb. #
14:00 This SMH obit says Digby Wolfe hosted 2 episodes of This Is Your Life (as per IMDb) but it was far more than that - http://t.co/WCqpDTFy #
13:43 Digby Wolfe's Friday night variety show on ch7(?) is one of my earliest memories of television. #
13:41 Another legend from Aussie TV's early days is gone. RT @NYTObits: Digby Wolfe, Actor and ‘Laugh-In’ Writer, Dies at 82 http://t.co/cf1SzNpX #
12:43 It may not be a #bacontax but I demand that Tony Abbott condemns the #carbonaratax and promise to rescind it when elected. #budget #auspol #
11:11 Oh @131500trains is giving a completely different reason to the one I heard from station staff. I hope theirs is correct. #
11:03 Apparently #cityrail services on the Bankstown Line have been suspended due to a fatality at Marrickville. #
09:56 Good analysis from CommSec's chief economist. RT @craigjamesOZ: Want an easy read on the Budget? http://t.co/VCQ3Z3nc #
09:49 You think it's just a #bacontax, but it's really a Great Big New #Carbonaratax. #auspol #budget #
09:12 The chances of me following someone on @Pinterest diminish greatly for every cupcake included in their feed. #

21:20 Pig slaughter levy? I didn't know there was a pig slaughter levy. #auspol #budget #bacontax http://t.co/mP6Vo3al #
19:21 Is there any point in following the #Budget live? None. We even have to wait two days for the official "Tony Abbott Says". #
19:17 is Being Lara Bingle an Australian remake of Being John Malkovich? #
